Unnsteinn Manuel Stefánsson

During Reykjavík Culture Night, the Iceland Symphony Orchestra offers guests and passersby a variety of exciting concerts for the whole family. This year, the versatile musician Unnsteinn Manuel Stefánsson will welcome guests to Eldborg hall. He will ponder the question of what kind of music the Symphony Orchestra will play on its 150th anniversary in the year 2100. The orchestra celebrated its 75th anniversary this year. At the Culture Night concerts, you can hear compositions that allude to the future, or did so in their time, by composers such as Jóhann Jóhannsson, Caroline Shaw, Ludwig van Beethoven and Björk. He will also perform the song Glow which was made popular by the band Retro Stefson.

Admission to the concert is free and everyone is welcome.

Tickets are available at sinfonia.is and at the Harpa box office on the day of the concert from 10:00.
