Yellow series
The Yellow Series brings together beloved masterworks and bold new music — including Beethoven's Ninth Symphony, Scriabin's Prometheus, and the world premiere of a new work by Hugi Guðmundsson — with artists including Barbara Hannigan, Alina Ibragimova, Elisabeth Leonskaja, and Tan Dun conducting his own music.
Red series
The Red Series places the full power of the Iceland Symphony at the centre – from Shostakovich's Babi Yar and Dvořák's New World to Bruckner's Fifth, with soloists including Isabelle Faust, Stefan Dohr, Ásta Dóra Finnsdóttir, and Barbara Hannigan opening and closing the series.
Green series
The Green Series offers accessible and beautiful programmes — from Brahms's First Symphony and Mozart's Jupiter to a Viennese concert of waltzes and galops. The concerts feature soloists including Lucie Horsch, Avi Avital, and Arnheiður Eiríksdóttir, and Barbara Hannigan conducting one of the season's most imaginative evenings.
Family concerts
The Family Concert Series brings the Iceland Symphony to life for young listeners — with beloved music, engaging hosts, and Saturday afternoon concerts the whole family can enjoy together. This season we celebrate Mozart's 270th birthday, followed by the annual Christmas Concert, and close with a musical journey that awakens us to the sights and sounds of spring.
The concerts are hour-long without intermission. Presentations are in Icelandic.
