Music, art and literature events are meticulously synchronized with the traditional rhythm of the Church Year &#8211; at Christmas, Fast, Easter and Pentecost.<\/p>\n<p>The programme of the 37th season is particularly diverse and festive and includes the annual Hallgr\u00edmskirkja Christmas Music Festival, the return of the momentous Festival of Sacred Arts, performances of grand musical pieces by Bach, Schnittke and Hafli\u00f0i Hallgr\u00edmsson, the phenomenal artwork of Finnbogi P\u00e9tursson, reading of the Passion Hymns and much more. Innovation continues to be an important theme, two compositions will be premiered at the Festival of Sacred Arts, an Oratory and a Cantata, and the chimes of Hallgr\u00edmskirkja\u2019s bells will be revitalized.<\/p>\n<p>Among a prestigious list of performers this year will be the Hallgr\u00edmskirkja Motet Choir, Schola Cantorum, The Hallgr\u00edmskirkja International Baroque Orchestra, Bj\u00f6rn Steinar S\u00f3lbergsson and Mattias Wager. Many international guests, organists and choirs will provide inspiration and passion and provide yet more opportunities to introduce the legacy of Hallgr\u00edmskirkja as a venue of music and arts to the world. It is with humble gratitude that I thank all these great artists for their contribution to the thriving art scene of Hallgr\u00edmskirkja.<\/p>\n<p>A new programme, printed in colour, is&nbsp;<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-659\" src=\"https:\/\/listvinafelag.is\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/pdf_icon_20x20.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"20\" height=\"20\"> <a href=\"https:\/\/listvinafelag.is\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/dagskra-2019.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">presented here<\/span><\/a> and will hopefully be well received.
