the best in icelandic music

Iceland's foremost purveyors of epic soundscapes return to the concert hall for the first time since 2003 as part of the LA Phil's Reykjavik Festival, celebrating culture and sound from the picturesque country. Expect to hear new works and new arrangements from collaborators such as Owen Pallet and more in this incredible chance to experience the genius behind some of modern music's most interesting compositions

First launching to mainstream success in 1994, with the album Agaetis Byrjun,the band announced on their website: "We are not a band, we are music... We are simply gonna change music forever, and the way people think about music. And don't think we can't do it, we will." And have been striving to embody this mission statement ever since, infusing concert halls with their vast collages of mystery and folklore, wrapped up in a classical blanket.

Don't miss what is sure to be a spectacular evening of sound and color with one of the best bands in the world today.
