Radio 3's European Roadtrip
Sarah Walker concludes our European Road Trip looking out across the Atlantic ocean from one of Reykjavik's most iconic buildings – the award winning Harpa concert hall. For a country with a population of less than 400,000 Iceland punches far above its weight musically and culturally, from medieval sagas to global superstar composers and performers.
Sarah invites one of the most in-demand pianists in Europe, Víkingur Ólafsson, to perform live for us and explores the many contemporary composers writing new music here in Iceland including Ólafur Arnalds, Hildur Guðnadóttir and Anna Thorvaldsdóttir. In addition, there will be music from some of Iceland's most famous musical exports including Björk, Sigur Rós and Laufey.
Sarah will also be joined by a handful of special guests to try and find out just what makes Iceland such a hotbed of creativity -
