Hildur Guðnadóttir
The Iceland Symphony Orchestra and the Reykjavík Arts Festival present a fascinating evening with composer Hildur Guðnadóttir, showcasing images from her work in recent years. Hildur is one of the leading film composers of our time and has won many awards for her work, including an Emmy and Grammy Award in 2019 for the score in the TV series Chernobyl and an Oscar in 2020 for the score for the film Joker. Here, the artist herself hosts a program where she talks about her work, influences, and the struggle to strengthen a film's narrative with moving music. The program is composed of Hildur's own music, for example from the films Joker, Tár, and A Haunting in Venice. Music that has had a great influence on Hildur over the years will also be performed, including works by Arvo Pärt, Ryuichi Sakamoto, Mika Levi, Kaija Saariaho and Alvin Lucier.
The concert is a collaborative project between the Reykjavík Arts Festival and the Iceland Symphony Orchestra.
