Sei­gla - Fest­ival Pass

Seigla is a chamber music festival that reimagines the traditional concert format. The festival takes place annually in Harpa Concert Hall in Reykjavík, Iceland, the second weekend in August.

This year’s programme centers around the theme narrative. We invite the audience and performers to interpret the theme in the broadest and most personal ways, and from all kinds of perspectives, whether by exploring how the concert experience itself can create a shared narrative between performers and audience, or how music can in some way carry a narrative on its own. The narrative may emerge through the music, the text, the space, or the interactions. The concept can be clearly defined or it can be experimental and open.
