The fictional figure of Isabelle Lewis was born from an encounter between composer and producer Valgeir Sigurðsson, countertenor and director Benjamin Abel Meirhaeghe, and violinist Elisabeth Klinck. What connects them is a shared instinct: to dismantle form and rebuild it from within.
Their debut album Greetings, released in October 2024 on the Icelandic label Bedroom Community and premiered at Ancienne Belgique, introduced a distinct sonic world — one in which theatrical vocality, sculpted electronics and extended violin dissolve the borders between pop, contemporary composition and experimental sound.
Following an intense writing period in Rome in the winter of 2025, the trio returned to Greenhouse Studios in Reykjavík to develop new material. The first batch of songs will be released as an EP in May. The work deepens the language first heard on Greetings: denser in texture, darker in tone, and more uncompromising in its emotional reach.
Isabelle Lewis exists as a mutable, sensual presence with shifting identities. Through Meirhaeghe’s operatic intensity, Sigurðsson’s finely detailed production and Klinck’s fragile precision, each piece unfolds as a layered terrain of tension and stillness, where melancholy and pulse coexist.
On stage, Isabelle Lewis becomes a charged ritual. Structure loosens. Precision meets volatility. The performance moves between concert, theatre and installation, drawing the audience into a space where categories collapse and something unfamiliar takes shape.
From spring 2026 onward, Isabelle Lewis returns to the stage with this new chapter.
A one-of-a-kind combination of electronic and contemporary classical music
The project is a co-production with B-Classic, Festspillene i Nord-Norge, Nordlysfestivalen and C-mine.
This production was realized with the support of the Tax Shelter measure of the Belgian federal government, Gallop Tax shelter and Het Nieuwstedelijk.
