Join the 麻豆社 Symphony Orchestra at Maida Vale Studios for UK premieres of recent works by four Icelandic composers. Cellist S忙unn Thorsteinsd贸ttir is the soloist in a work written for her, P谩ll Ragnar P谩lsson's Quake, which was the overall winner at the 2018 International Rostrum of Composers. Valgeir Sigur冒sson is a record producer, sound engineer, musician and composer. In 1997 he founded Greenhouse Studios in Iceland, where he worked with a wide range of international artists from Bjork, Damon Albarn and Nico Muhly.
Anna 脼orvaldsd贸ttir鈥檚 Dreaming, inspired by imaginative listening to landscapes and nature, embodies a flowing world of sound. Haukur Tomasson鈥檚 From Darkness Woven is composed for orchestra without brass instruments and has its roots in the world of weaving and looms.
