Bæjarlistamaður Seltjarnarness 2026.
Ég þakka þann mikla heiður sem mér er sýndur með þessari útnefningu. Það er gaman að bætast í þann glæsilega hóp listamanna sem hafa áður hlotið þessa nafnbót en ég mun vera sá þrítugasti í röðinni. Og það er aldeilis nóg af listafólki á Nesinu og fer fjölgandi enda er sérdeilis gaman að búa þar. ❤️🙏

BBC Music Magazine gave The Grotesque & The Sublime a 4-star review.
Here’s an excerpt:
“...Fast forward through many decades and the absorption of additional ideas from Europe and we meet Daníel Bjarnason, whose dramatic, unfettered music stirs this heritage into an approach that seems him equally at home when collaborating with Brian Eno or post-rockers, Sigur Ros...”

About The Grotesque & The Sublime | “...Bow to String and Processions, both of which thrive on the process of expanding strong, fertile material by zooming deep in or stretching wide out – a more thematic, less spectral approach than that of Icelandic fashion but one that still sees Bjarnason reveling in the properties of sound itself.” - Andrew Mellor
The Grotesque & The Sublime is out today. Get your album through the 🔗 in today’s stories.

Við hlökkum mikið til að flytja tónlist Caroline Shaw undir stjórn Daníels Bjarnasonar í kvöld. Á tónleikunum hljóma fjögur verk Caroline en tónverk hennar og aðferðir hafa vakið mikla athygli langt út fyrir heim sígildrar tónlistar. Sjálf verður Caroline í einleikshlutverkinu á fiðlu og víólu og Aurora - kammerkór verður einnig með okkur. Tónleikarnir hefjast kl. 18:00 og eru um klukkustundarlangir. Ekki missa af þessum áhugaverðu föstudagstónleikunum!

We look forward to perform Caroline Shaw's music under the baton of Daníel Bjarnason tonight in Eldborg. Four of her works will be performed at the concert. Shaw's music and methods have attracted significant attention in many countries, far beyond the world of classical music.
Caroline herself will perform as a soloist on violin and viola, and the Aurora Chamber Choir will also join us on stage.
The concert begins at 6:00 PM and lasts about an hour. Don’t miss this exciting Friday concert!
“There’s not any hidden message that you are supposed to decipher, or [you are] not supposed to feel a certain way. It’s all in the listener’s mind, and that is when the music comes alive.”
Conductor and composer Daníel Bjarnason gave us a preview of his new album, talked about his experience conducting on Rosalía’s LUX, and working with the Iceland Symphony Orchestra — his “home team.”
The Grotesque & The Sublime is out now. Read our interview with Daníel via the link in bio.
