The annual Icelandic Christmas concert Frostroses (In Icelandic: Frostrosir), held in Reykjavík, Iceland, is one of Iceland's most cherished Christmas traditions. "Frostrosir" is the Icelandic term for the flower-like patterns that form on windows when frost is present. Begun in 2002, the event brings together well-known performers. Many of them come from Northern Europe countries.
In December 2006 a group of popular female singers from many different countries, named European Divas, gathered and performed on a concert at the Hallgrímskirkja in Reykjavík.[1] The divas were Sissel Kyrkjebø (Norway), Eivør Pálsdóttir (Faroe Islands), Petula Clark (UK), Ragga Gísla (Iceland), Patricia Bardon (Ireland) and Eleftheria Arvanitaki (Greece).
This concert was broadcast on TV in Scandinavia and released on a CD, including a DVD in 2007.[2] A musicvideo, "Frostroses", was also released.
