Sveinbjörnsson Celebration
Details
The Father of Icelandic classical music and composer of the Icelandic National Anthem, Sveinbjörn Svenbjörnsson, was the first Icelandic composer to travel abroad to hone his craft. Although he subsequently spent most of his life off the island - in Copenhagen, Leipzig, and Edinburgh - he continued to compose with thoughts of both his surroundings and his motherland. Experience the gorgeous sounds of his two piano trios and a selection of songs.
Featuring the soprano Clarice Alfonso, violinist Cecilia Archuleta, cellist Willie Braun, and pianist Michelle Huang
