The last few weeks have been filled with uncertainty. Everyone has in one way or another been touched by the severity of the current pandemic. We find that art is one of the things that has gotten us through these difficult times. Therefore we won't cancel the festival, but make a few changes so that we can continue the Summer Concerts long traditions.
The Summer Concerts will be from July 2-12 with concerts on Thursdays to Sundays both weeks. We are following the guidelines closely.
Here is the full programme. All events will take place in the Skálholt Cathedral.
