SYSTIR, meaning "sister" in Icelandic were created to forge a distinctive and eclectic musical identity focused on the female voice. Today Anúna is the parent ensemble of the Anúna Collective, which includes the ensembles Systir and M'ANAM.
Systir's performances span original songs and arrangements alongside works by the 11th-century abbess Hildegard of Bingen and contemporary artists such as Janelle Monáe and Kate Bush. Central to their music is the story behind the songs, personal and historical. Systir explore universal human emotions and experiences that resonate broadly across audiences.
Systir have toured Italy, China, Japan, Germany, Ireland, Finland and Iceland in the last two years, with performances in England, Germany, Finland, Estonia and Latvia scheduled in 2026. Irish composer Michael McGlynn serves as artistic director.
