Fyrstu jazztónleikar ársins
Björt Sigfinnsdóttir and Jón Hilmar first played together long time ago, but it wasn't until last summer that their collaboration really began. Their concert is a combination of music and stories that they have played for cruise ship passengers in recent summers along with music that has been with them over the years. Fun and beautiful concerts at the same time.
Björt Sigfinnsdóttir is a musician and songwriter, and over the years she has performed her music around the world. She released her first album in 2016 Poems of the past under the name FURA, but songs from that album have sounded in films and commercials for example. Björt has also made an impact in the field of culture, but she is one of the founders of LUNGA and was nominated as an outstanding young person in the field of culture in 2021.
Jón Hilmar Kárason is a guitarist and online guitar teacher. Over the years, he has organized a number of events and been active in the music scene. He plays all kind of genres, but at this concert the acoustic guitar will be his refuge and trust.
