Umbra Ensemble is composed of the musicians Alexandra Kjeld, Arngerður María Árnadóttir, Guðbjörg Hlín Guðmundsdóttir, and Lilja Dögg Gunnarsdóttir. Together they have created their own sonic world—a soundscape considered to have a folk-like, ancient character with dark undertones.

Their repertoire draws on themes from times past, when suffering, sin, and human frailty were never in short supply, whether one looks to Iceland or other lands. Umbra creates a moment with music and words where attention is directed to destinies and tribulations. Here, darkness and mystique flow freely through the music, and the narrative heritage and poetry of bygone centuries are delved into. All arrangements are by Umbra.
