For 1100 years Icelanders have been trying to grow as a nation. As of today there are only around 320.000 Icelanders living. Around 500.000 Icelanders are dead and therefore currently cannot help their nation with this task. Since Iceland is the navel of the universe the world needs more Icelanders. Please help! In seeing “How to become Icelandic in 60 minutes” Bjarni Haukur Thorsson teaches you everything you need to know about being Icelandic, in just one hour. You will learn how to walk, talk and behave like a regular Icelander. Additionally you will learn why eating sour sheep balls might save your life.

Cellist Geirþrúður Anna Guðmundsdóttir performs all six Solo Cello Suites by Johann Sebastian Bach in a set of concerts in Norðuljós in Harpa. These concerts are the culmination of a tour, where all six suites resounded across the country. The Cello Suites are the most beloved works in all the cello repertoire and some of the greatest pieces in the classical canon. In this six-act opera for the solo cello, Bach takes both performer and listener on a magical journey. Starting with the simple triad which opens innocent sounding first suite, he takes us on through the intimate second suite, the extroverted third suite, the rhetorical fourth suite, the stormy and tragic fifth suite, culminating in the heroic and euphoric sixth suite. These concerts are supported by Ýli – Harpa’s Fund for Young Musicians.
