The annual Christmas concerts is a permanent part of many families’ holiday schedules in Iceland, with a host of experienced professionals and young musicians and dancers joining forces in an artistic extravaganza.
This year’s programme will be no exception. The programme features beautiful Christmas music from various periods, including a Christmas overture and a dance from Tchaikovsky’s Swan Lake.

The conductor is Bjarni Frímann Bjarnason, and master of ceremonies is Barbara the Clown. The concerts are also performed in Icelandic Sign Language.
