Dark Music Days 2010
During the dark days of the long Icelandic winter, music lovers have taken comfort in the annual contemporary music festival DARK MUSIC DAYS.
Since 1980 the contemporary music festival, Dark Music Days, has celebrated the darkest days of the year with a new music festival where composers open their workshops to audiences. The festival offers an ambitious programme—several concerts take place each day and many premieres. The festival draws foreign guests who want to study Icelandic music today and report about their experiences back at home. The festival is an annual Music Festival organized by the Icelandic Composers Union.
