The Iceland Symphony Orchestra performs before an open house in Ísafjörður on Thursday 5 September. Ísafjörður Music School and the Ísafjörður Music Society celebrated their 70-year anniversary with a wide-ranging festival programme in late 2018. This performance is the concluding event. Soprano Herdís Anna Jónasdóttir, born and bred in Ísafjörður, recently brought the house down with her performance in La Traviata with the Icelandic Opera. At this concert she sings several popular songs and arias with the ISO. Also appearing are the Ísafjörður Music School Festival Choir and the eminently talented 18-year-old pianist Mikolaj Ólafur Frach, who will perform the last movement of Chopin’s Piano Concerto no. 2.
The concert will also feature selections from Edvard Grieg’s ever-popular Peer Gynt, including “Morning Mood” and “In the Hall of the Mountain King”. Stefán Jón Bernharðsson, the ISO's principal hornist, is the soloist in Mozart’s Horn Concerto, written at the height of the composer’s career, around the time he wrote The Marriage of Figaro. The programme concludes with Sibelius’ majestic Symphony no. 5. At the podium is Daníel Bjarnason, Principal Guest Conductor of the ISO.
