Siggi String Quartet was founded in 2012 and has, since then, placed great emphasis on collaborating closely with composers and artists in the creation of new works, resulting in numerous premieres of works composed specifically for the group. For this year’s Dark Music Days, Siggi String Quartet premieres two new works, composed specifically for the group for this occasion. Arngerður María Árnadóttir's String Quartet No. 2 features two distinct movements with evocative titles. The first movement is called Under the Evening Sky, and the second is named The Last Color of Summer, suggesting a poetic and atmospheric approach to the composition. In Pétur Eggertsson's innovative work Samleið, performers enter a game-like world where the rules dynamically shape the outcome. The performers’ spontaneous decisions can transform the work, potentially allowing the piece itself to become the victor of its own intricate musical game.
