Kristín (https://kristinjoninataylor.com/) is based in Omaha, Nebraska, where she is Associate Professor of Piano. She grew up in a "very Icelandic household", not least due to her Icelandic mum, and has dedicated much of her work to Icelandic music, most especially composers such as Þorkell Sigurbjörnsson and Jón Nordal.
