Guðrún Óskarsdóttir is a dedicated interpreter of both baroque and contemporary music and  has taken part in numerous first performances. She studied the piano at the Reykjavík College of music. There she also got to know the harpsichord and had her first lessons with Helga Ingólfsdóttir.  For further studies she went to Holland and studied at the Sweelinck Conservatorium in Amsterdam with Anneke Uittenbosch and later with Jesper Böje Christensen at Scola Cantorum in Basel and with Francoise Lengellé in Paris.

Guðrún is featured on numerous recordings and has appeared as a soloist and chamber musician in recitals and concerts in Iceland, Europe, USA and Japan.  She is a member of Nordic Affect and Caput new music ensemble.  She also plays regularly with the Icelandic Symphonie Orchestra and has performed for the Icelandic Opera and the Icelandic Dance Company. She is a strong advocate for new music being created for the harpsichord. For her solo album “In Paradisum” with new Icelandic music, she received the Icelandic Music Awards 2016.

Australian born Georgia Browne has an international profile as a performer of historical flutes. She trained with Barthold Kuijken at the Royal Conservatoire in The Hague and shortly after, established a career in the United Kingdom where she has played for Arcangelo, The English Concert, Dunedin Consort, the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment, the Early Opera Company, the English National Opera. Georgia is principal flute with the highly acclaimed Ensemble Pygmalion and is an invited guest of a number of other French ensembles - Les Correspondances, Jupiter, Capriccio Stravagante, Les Talens Lyriques - as well as groups in Germany, Scandinavia, Eastern Europe and Australia. Georgia very much enjoys her role as baroque flute tutor at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland and frequently gives masterclasses at international tertiary institutions. She has appeared on recordings for the Alpha, BIS, Harmonia Mundi and Pentatone labels and is the featured artist on an album of flute music by Carl Friedrich Abel with Icelandic chamber ensemble Nordic Affect.
