Its already July and we are still relishing over our last concert exactly a month ago at the Festival of Sacred Arts 2019 in Hallgrímskirkja, where we performed the songs from the Llibre Vermell manuscript along with some scandinavian tunes from the same period. We are so thankful for the warm reception and feedback we have received since the performance and we couldn’t be happier with our guest musicians; Eggert, Kristó, Þórdís, the beautiful male vocal ensemble Cantores islandiae and our new sister-in-music, musical power-house Marina Albero, whom we can’t wait to collaborate with again sometime in the future. We recorded the concert material in the days following the concert with our favourite recording engineer and tonmeister Ragnheiður Jónsdóttir, and we expect to release an album in the fall.
We will be performing quite a bit this summer, both in the Icelandic countryside and in the capital area. So far the lineup is looking good:
July 6th - Siglufjörður Folk Music Festival
July 7th - Hólar in Hjaltadalur
July 12th - Hafnarborg Songfest
August 15th - Stykkishólmur Church
September 19th - Vinaminni Akranes
In the fall we have a few more concerts lined up, some final recording sessions awaiting us for Kristín Þóra Haraldsdóttir’s Blóðhófnir (Bloodhoof), also expected to release in the fall, and lastly we’ll be working on some new exciting material for the spring concert session in 2020.
