Despite having worked as a musician in Iceland for about 10 years, I have never performed in my hometown of Árbær. This is, of course, unacceptable for someone who has lived here all their life and is a proud resident of Árbær and a supporter of Fylkir, so it’s about time to tick that off the list and perform at Árbær Church. In 2025, I plan to be more active in hosting solo concerts, performing my own music, and experimenting with it. The churches of the country provide an ideal venue for this, and I’m really looking forward to starting the journey at Árbæjarkirkja.

I will perform selected pieces from most of my albums, along with a few of my favorite works by other composers. The piano will be at my side, along with some reliable synthesizers. The concert will be at 8:00 PM on Sunday, March 23rd. Ticket price is 3,900 ISK, and the doors will open half an hour before the concert. I look forward to seeing you all!
