Composers in residence at Skálholt Summer Concerts

In 1986 Helga Ingólfsdóttir started the tradition of having one or more composers in residence at Skálholt Summer Concerts. Every year a new piece was premiered at the Summer Concerts which made the festival not only a leading early music festival, but also a new music festival.
