Did the ash from the 1783 Skaftáreldar eruption push France towards Revolution? Would it have been better to refrain from claiming countless colonies? Jean-Philippe Rameau and other giants of the exquisitely refined French Baroque are re-imagined in a variety of ways and heard in dialogue with the Icelandic traditional instrument langspil, newly composed poetry, and music by the Gadus Morhua Ensemble trio.

Baroque cello and langspil met for the first time - that we know - in Stykkishólmur in the summer 2016. Their harmony let imagination loose, and a new style was born: the turfhouse baroque.

The Gadus Morhua Ensemble

Steinunn Arnbjörg Stefánsdóttir, Björk Níelsdóttir, Eyjólfur Eyjólfsson and Guðrún Óskarsdóttir

Duration of concert approx 70 mins. and without intermission.
