Triumphant trumpets and thundering timpani will join the glorious orchestral tones of the International Baroque Orchestra of Hallgrímskirkja (previously of Den Haag) and the rapturous singing of the Hallgrímskirkja Motet Choir during celebratory performances of Charpentiers’s Fanfare and Te Deum and J. S. Bach’s Mass nr. 1 in F-Major on the 29th and 30th of October.
