The Iceland Symphony Orchestra's Christmas concert is a true festive moment for Christmas children of all ages. As usual, the atmosphere in Eldborg is festive, as young instrumentalists and ballet dancers, along with soloists and choirs, present guests with a splendid and diverse programme. Classic Christmas songs intertwine with classic fairy tales that get everyone in the holiday spirit. Maximus Musicus puts on his red hat and Barbara the clown performs her familiar and warm Christmas meditation that strikes a chord in every heart. This is a family concert, tailored to young audiences, and the concert lasts about one hour without intermission. The concert is interpreted in sign language.

Winter Solstice Concert

 Location: Fimmund, Harpa
 Date: Monday, 21 December
 Time: 11:00
 Age: All ages
 Admission: Free, no tickets required

The winter solstice marks the shortest day of the year. In Reykjavík, the sun rises at around 11:21, with just over four hours of daylight.

We invite you to watch the sun rise over the city while listening to beautiful music performed on harp and violin by Katie Buckley and Sigrún Harðardóttir.

Guests can make themselves comfortable on chairs, mats or cushions – or even lie down on the floor, close their eyes and simply listen. The concert is designed as a peaceful moment in the midst of the dark winter season, giving families a chance to slow down, listen and enjoy the moment together.

A calming experience just before Christmas, as the days finally begin to grow longer again.

In Green Hollow is a collaborative project between the Iceland Symphony Orchestra, the National Gallery of Iceland, and the Reykjavík Botanical Garden. There, folklore, music, art and nature all meet. We’ll embark on a seasonal journey where the music awakens us to spring and the artworks play with the joy of summer colours, flutter with the leaves of autumn, and fall into the deep sleep of winter.

Ólafur Egill Egilsson is the narrator of this charming and educational family concert, leading concertgoers through the spectrum of the seasons as music and botany combine with the visual arts that will be projected during the concert.
This is a family concert, tailored to young audiences, and the concert lasts about one hour without intermission.
