About
For the duration of Nordic Cool 2013, the Terrace Gallery will become the Cool Club, an extension of the Nordic Design Illustrated exhibition. The Cool Club will feature the iconic Arne Jacobsen Series 7 chairs, on loan from Fritz Hansen, the Embassy of Denmark in Washington, D.C., and Furniture from Scandinavia, and a new curtain made from fabric by Marimekko.
Norwegian violinists Ragnhild & Eldbjørg Hemsing have been playing together since the ages of seven and five, when they first played for the Norwegian Royal Family at the National Theatre in Oslo. Each, an acclaimed soloist in her own right, the sisters have performed with leading orchestras in Norway and around Europe. In 2003, Ragnhild won First Prize and the Laureate Prize in the Kocian International Violin Competition. Eldbjørg won the competition two years later in 2005.
