This Friday the Reykholt Chamber Music Festival starts in Reykholt, Borgarfjörður. It’s one of the oldest Icelandic Music Festivals, held in historic Reykholt, the birth place of Snorri Sturluson, the last week of July every year. It´s repertoire mainly consists of classical music featuring both Icelandic musicians and well known foreign artists, although this year we’ll stick to only Icelanders - you can guess why… Reykholt festival has earned a reputation as being one of the most interesting cultural events in Iceland.
This year there’s a wonderful program, four concerts and a lecture on the Icelandic writer Þorsteinn frá Hamri. All the information on the Festival can be found here, as well as tickets and program.
