In 2011 Nína Margrét will tour China again as well as concertizing in Europe and the United States.

Exiting new program will be introduced soon for Nína Margrét´s Lunch-time Classics in Gerduberg 2010-2011 featuring soprano Þóra Einarsdóttir, cellist Margrét Árnadóttir, violinist Joaquin Páll Palomares, flutist Áshildur Haraldsdóttir, oboist Eydís Franzdóttir, flutist Hallfríður Ólafsdóttir and clarinetist Ármann Helgason. The concert series is sponsored by the City of Reykjavík and is now in its fourth year. The chief objects of the series are to make classical music of the highest performance and programming standards widely available to audiences of all ages. This has been successfully realized in cooperation with the Icelandic National Broadcasting Station.

During June and July 2010 Nína Margrét was interviewed on Brahms, Beethoven and Mozart recordings on classical music radio show Behind the Stars hosted by Arndís Anna Björnsdóttir on the Icelandic National Broadcasting Station.

On May 16th Lunch-time Classics concert in Gerduberg with flutist Áshildur Haraldsdóttir and Nína Margrét was broadcast on the Icelandic National Broadcasting Station.

In April 2010 Nína Margrét and flutist Áshildur performed in two duo recitals as a part of the Series “The Magic of Music.”
