Our Clas­sics

Our Classics has long since been established as an indispensable upbeat to the Iceland Symphony Orchestra’s upcoming season. As usual, we offer a varied programme that will delight hearts and minds on this late summer evening: Lively orchestral music and melancholic songs mixed with passionate arias, heroic songs and energetic piano playing. Many of the evening’s stars adorn the concert programme of the upcoming year and will give concertgoers the opportunity to enjoy their talents and radiance here.
