The annual Hafnarborg Songfest was held in Hafnarfjörður in the beginning of July, when life was almost back to normal here in Iceland. I was lucky to perform there along these fantastic musicians, Kristinn Sigmundsson bass, Hrólfur Sæmundsson baritone, Guðrún Jóhanna Ólafsdóttir mezzo-soprano, Gunnlaugur Bjarnason, baritone, Anna Guðný Guðmundsdóttir, piano and Francisco Javier Jáuregui Narváez on classical guitar.
This was a concert to honour a very beloved Icelandic composer, Jón Ásgeirsson, who will turn 92 in October, and who mercifully was able to attend. It was a beautiful moment at the end of the concert where everyone stood up and sang Maístjarnan together, a cherished song, known by every Icelandic child.
The Icelandic radio broadcasted a recording from the concert last Sunday, and here you can have a listen. Enjoy!
