Joerg, stands to reason then – but tons of the good stuff going on now. Might want to check out Steingrímur Þórhallsson’s concerts this weekend, he’s a pretty good player. Thanx, might revive my English blog :þ

Luna_Sea hmm, I don’t actually have access to the blog but it might have something to do with me writing out the links in the Word document I sent to Alda. Lemme check with her, but Googling the festivals ought to give results too

Sylvia, leave a comment on my blog a bit before coming here, I’m certain I’ll be able to find some interesting concerts.

Oh, and I like to read your blog, too. Australia is on my agenda in september. I suppose, I’ll be bankrupt afterwards.

hildigunnur- I am staying in Reykjavik from 17th Nov to 19th Dec and I really want to experience all kinds of music. How can I find out what is going on and will I need to try and book tickets before I arrive? Great to read your blog.

Ok, it was actually a Christmas concert, which was fully booked and an organ summer concert, which I missed, because I returned late from an excursion. But I’ll never give up hope.

gaah, forgot to link to the Skálholt one! Here you go – main site in Icelandic but there’s an English tab in the top line – not really linkable but you can pick every weekend’s program from it.

Lissa, I can of course do that, if people want

Joerg, the concerts on this festival are numerous and I’m quite sure none of them are fully booked, after all the church is quite big. I’ve been on 3 of the organ festival concerts, 2 lunchtime and one in the afternoon, that one was fairly full but in the lunch concerts they normally have quite a lot of vacant seats. The Klais is a great instrument, I love to sit and listen to it, be it a pianissimo passage or a full-stops blast.
