Conductor and soprano
Barbara Hannigan
At the end of the concert season, Barbara Hannigan, the Iceland Symphony Orchestra's principal conductor and artistic director, offers a charming and summery programme. The concert will feature four movements from Mendelssohn's music for the play A Midsummer Night's Dream, including the lively overture and the well-known wedding march. Dance is prominent in American music, which can be found as a theme in this programme.
The carousel spins and spins in a tumbling waltz from Richard Rodgers' musical, and Aaron Copland's Dance Symphony is now being heard for the first time in Iceland, a work that the composer reworked from a ballet that was never realised. . At the end of the concert, Barbara Hannigan will sing a new arrangement of Billy Barnes' composition, At the Festival, which she has created with American film and theatre composer Bill Elliot.
The concert will be repeated in a shorter version, without the Dance Symphony, in Hof in Akureyri on 4 June 2027.
