Music evoking springtime and the sea is in the spotlight for this evening’s concert at the Iceland Symphony Orchestra under the direction of Finnish conductor Hannu Lintu. Lintu is Chief Conductor of the Finnish Radio Symphony Orchestra and has previously led the Iceland Symphony, with outstanding results. In response to his 2011 performance of Beethoven’s symphonies with the Iceland Symphony, the critic from Morgunblaðið said, “Under the baton of Hannu Lintu, the Iceland Symphony gave free rein to the entire spectrum of colour, dynamics, and ambience. The performance was uniformly captivating and exciting.” When France’s Lili Boulanger died in 1918 at only 24 years of age, she was already a skilled composer with a number of brilliant works to her credit, including the symphonic poem that opens this evening’s concert. Des Knaben Wunderhorn, or The Boy’s Miraculous Horn, is the title of a set of German folk poems published in 1805. A vast number of composers set them to music, but none sought inspiration from them to the degree that Gustav Mahler did. In this masterwork, the music and text span the full range of human experience, from love and loss to conflict and war, and are by turns satirical, […]

The Brogan Davison Show is a stand-up performance that critically explores the act of staging a ‘self’ within the complicated world of identity politics and representation. Dancing on a fine line of lowbrow entertainment and highbrow contemporary performance art, The Brogan Davison Show rarely manages to please everyone in the room, despite it’s very best effort. In the show, Brogan Davison, a socially awkward, self-deprecating and mentally unstable English woman, attempts to give the performance of a lifetime. She shares stories from her working class upbringing in England, re-lives being a backing singer in her Dad’s Rock and roll cover band and has a philosophical conversation with a mic-stand. At its core this vulnerable and hilarious show celebrates failure and the beauty and liberation that can be found within it. As smart as it is naive, The Brogan Davison Show is many things, but mostly a declaration of love for anyone who is looking to find a meaningful place in the world. The Brogan Davison Show is the newest work of the award-winning group Dance For Me, lead by performance makers Pétur Ármannsson (IS) and Brogan Davison (UK). Located within the field of real fiction, their work explores the relationship […]

Adda plays music that originates in her hero’s (and villain’s) journey through the landscape of the inner self. On the journey, obsessions turn into mantras, the self becomes neuro-queer and dresses up in feminism and radical philosophy. Psychiatry is torn apart but psychiatrists are forgiven none the less and traumas are healed with the help of Icelandic mountains, friends and seas. Adda will play songs from her solo career of the last ten years, including songs from the EP My brain, of which the music critic Bob Clunes said in the Grapevine: “[it’s] a wonderfully austere, haunting body of folk songs”. Adda will be accompanied by singer Sunna Ingólfsdóttir and violist Karl James Pestka. Ólöf Arnalds will appear as a special guest.

Unnur Birna and Björn Thoroddsen will perform at the Græni Hatturinn with a band on February 21st.
