Northern Lights
Epic landscapes and crossing musical boundaries in Iceland.
“I think pretty much every classical musician I’ve met [in Iceland] plays in a rock band of some kind too,” writes Guy Damann. Musicians in Iceland certainly don’t have much time for the boundaries between classical music and other genres - from soundtracks to pop to heavy metal. Come and hear how that works in this fantastic programme of modern Icelandic music, curated by boundary-pushing conductor and composer Robert Ames, which includes works by musicians from Sigur Rós and composer of The Joker and Tár soundtracks Hildur Guðnadóttir.
