Laufey brings her music to life at the Guggenheim, New York City
Icelandic singer Laufey has once again captivated audiences with her recent performances of _Lover Girl_ and _Clockwork_. Filmed inside the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York City, these videos turn her music into immersive experiences that merge sound, movement, and storytelling.
The museum’s spiraling rotunda, designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, provides a visually striking backdrop that enhances the fluidity and grace of her performances. With each note of her warm alto voice, Laufey transforms the space into a stage where music and visual art intersect seamlessly.
The A Matter of Time Tour is the upcoming third concert tour by Icelandic musician Laufey. It will begin on September 15, 2025, in Orlando, Florida, with shows across North America.

Turning music into movement
Directed by Gus Black, the performances feature dancers from world-renowned ballet companies, including the New York City Ballet and American Ballet Theatre. _Lover Girl_ includes principals Indiana Woodward and Joseph Gordon, as well as ABT dancers Zimmi Coker and Gabe Stone Shayer, who co-choreographed portions of the piece.
_Clockwork_ presents an expanded cast with NYCB soloist Alexa Maxwell and former NYCB soloist Megan LeCrone, creating a dynamic interplay of movement that complements Laufey’s songs. The dancers’ fluid motions spiral through the Guggenheim’s iconic architecture, echoing the emotional depth and subtle storytelling in her music.
New York City Ballet is a ballet company founded in 1948 by choreographer George Balanchine and Lincoln Kirstein.
A timeless narrative
Laufey herself serves as the central narrator, adorned in custom Polo Ralph Lauren clothing with her face highlighted by Valentino Beauty makeup.
These performances, similar in approach to her NPR Tiny Desk Concert and her rendition of _Valentine_ at Reykjavík’s Harpa Concert Hall, emphasize the fusion of musical precision and visual storytelling.
Each show invites audiences to experience not just the songs, but entire worlds constructed around the music, blending classical influences with contemporary emotional resonance.
With her _A Matter of Time_ tour now underway in the UK and Europe, Laufey continues to enchant global audiences.
Fans can anticipate more immersive experiences that combine her honeyed voice with cinematic choreography, further establishing her reputation as a modern artist capable of turning every performance into a memorable, multi-sensory journey.
