Kasper, Jesper, And Jonathan!

Songs from Thorbjørn Egner's adventure classics, in marvellous new arrangements for orchestra and vocal soloists.

Aunt Sophie, Claus Climbermouse, and the baker's apprentice — not to mention the unforgettable robbers Kasper, Jesper, and Jonathan — are just some of the characters from Egner's enchanting tale, now performed in Eldborg hall by the Iceland Symphony Orchestra for the first time. Songs and stories have long delighted children of all ages, and the characters in Thorbjørn Egner's works rank among Icelanders' dearest friends.

Hosting this tantalising family concert are nationally known singer-actors Jóhanna Vigdís Arnardóttir, Pálmi Gestsson, Valur Freyr Einarsson, and Sigurður Þór Óskarsson, with the staunch support of the talented Kársnes School Choir. Join the Iceland Symphony for a magical journey to Cardamom Town and Huckybucky Forest, where friendship and solidarity are celebrated. The songs are performed in brilliant new arrangements by Jóhann G. Jóhannsson, one of Iceland's all-time favourite theatre musicians and the composer of the music to the perennial favourite play The Message Pouch.
