Came here from Ben Fold's IG story. This sounds so pretty. Love it!

Same! 🤘

I'm literally those girls staring at her with hearts on their eyes

SAME

Feel the same and I'm a 31 year old dude with a beard

[@kri_ziiia]

So happy to see her perform again on tv ❤

[@basilkhan4397]

This sends out a big message that the National Symphony Orchestra supports younger artists like Laufey and in collaboration want to introduce Orchestral/Classical music to our coming generations- an endearing and wholesome effort.

[@kevin104z]

Best young artist maybe ever!!!

[@edriley2703]

She got nothing on Meghan the Stallion....

[@NotDad]

amazing she sounds record quality live while playing along, especially when considering timing with a down tempo orchestral backing, amazing

[@shonen84]

She and her twin sister truly are gems - classically trained in Reykjavík and Berklee Colleges of Music, participated in the Voice Iceland and blessed us all with living room concerts during COVID. I hope to catch a wonderful orchestral performance one day ❤

[@garymiller95]

Downtempo- simpler term too slow-

[@ThawngboyCung]

@TripleKmafiaszas talented idk what ur on about

[@ThawngboyCung]

@TripleKmafia even without autotune her voice sounds fine u just tryna be different and why did you even bring sza into the conversation ??

[@ThawngboyCung]

@TripleKmafia she uses a lot of reverb and auto tune because it suits the kind of music she makes

[@SeanSMST]

Only Laufey can get a whole audience of young girls and women to show up to a jazz gig. Incredible talent on display.

[@mikamikan1079]

boring elevator music

[@EstamosDe]

​@@mikamikan1079 Elevators with music? What kind of elevators do you use? What are you? Rich? I would love elevators with bossanova! and every corner of the world with this music being loved as much as any other gender, just enjoy music without prejudice That means: stop trying making an image on your mind when hearing music. And if you would really want to imagine something, the right thing is not an elevator, but the beaches of Brasil. Bossanova is a style that uses guitar as the main instrument because it is indeed beach music, not elevator music. That is a yankees' thing. And if you reaally want a music for elevators, its really smooth jazz, not bossanova neither latin jazz. And smooth jazz is cool too. I enjoy from psytrance, to 70s progressive rock, grunge, rap, numetal, colorstep, funk and soul, and a lot of other heavier genders. But for me? Bossanova has the perfect rhythm to get peace in almost any context, even in the hardest ones. Try it, just stop thinking about palm trees, smoking or rastafaris when listening to reggae, stop imagining a metal head, beers and whatever comes to your mind when listening to metal, stop thinking about synthpop as neon colored with baby blue and hot pink. Or Taylors music as something girly, because it isnt. Just enjoy music by itself, at least try it! Tastes are all adcquired and you are missing some colors of what life can be with bossanova as a tool in your playlist. I used to be trapped in some styles, Im glad Im not anymore

[@fast1nakus]

It has absolutely nothing to do with jazz.

[@EstamosDe]

@@fast1nakus bossanova is the son of jazz and samba

[@SeanSMST]

@@fast1nakus she's classified as jazz and pop on wikipedia. How she sings is very reminiscent of singers from the early to mid 20th century, such as jazz singers from thwt time. Also there's more styles of jazz than the john coltranes or oscar petersons of the world, there's more to jazz than 'has to be very technical, sound crazy and improvised' like smooth jazz such as chet baker bruh. So yeah cry, it is jazz. Just not YOUR jazz.

[@NancyBober]

Incredible program and remarkable talent performances

[@jerrera45]

Just saw this on PBS. It so nice to hear a singer actually sing and not scream. Her voice is so natural and pure. What a delight !

[@julezdacoolz5955]

0:52 that guitar slide was pretty cool

[@alejandrocastillo4569]

I got to love every second of this while being in the crowd looking through my pirate telescope admiring a treasure to my heart ❤️‍🔥

[@23ryan53]

those strings that came in half way was crazy

[@maishatopez6203]

Your gift is well received, can't wait to experience full vibe at Eastman School, Rochester, NY June 26,2024

01:02 is a perfect example of one person being present and in the moment of this incredible performance, and someone recording it on their phone. Seems such a shame to miss that experience because of a phone. 😢

[@highonspiderwebs196]

for those confused about the beginning, the conductor was a little slow and you can hear laufey rushing a bit because the song was written faster

[@gregp7980]

Amazing is right.

is this the song they left out of la la land?

I wonder why the tempo was slowed down so much. What are the musical reasons for doing that?

Who is playing the piano?

[@PHN-2024]

I'm guessing an Invisible Pianist is playing the Piano.

[@debiseltmann7341]

This is stunning! Does she sing in Portuguese?!❤

[@fjolakristinbragadottir9333]

Why would she sing in Portuguese?

[@debiseltmann7341]

@@fjolakristinbragadottir9333 the beat of the song she's singing is called bossa nova and is a Brazilian(Portuguese)song style. To me, the language i is so melodic❤️ (Check out Sergio Mendez and Brazil 66 for prime examples of song style and language)😃

[@blackbroadwayandbeyond]

​I'm assuming because the commenter noticed that the song is in a Bossa Nova style, but that doesn't necessarily mean it has to be sung in Portuguese.🙂 ​@@fjolakristinbragadottir9333

[@jersonmajin]

@@fjolakristinbragadottir9333 Because Bossanova is from Brasil

[@davidchez513]

One thing doesn't correlate the other. Bossa Nova is pretty popular in Japan but no artist there has published a song singing in Portuguese.

Might be the xylophone?!

@@melody_wu definitely sounds like a piano and not a xylophone, and there is a piano/pianist behind the violins (behind Suzie Collier) at 1:29!

[@dariaglass3851]

It's for the next performer -Jacob Collier -its on one of the clips just released by the Kennedy centre.

The piano that you can hear is behind the violins, by the harp.
