Snæbjörg Guðmunda Gunnarsdóttir soprano singer and Þóra Kristín Gunnarsdóttir pianist both live abroad, Snæbjörg in Stuttgart and Thora in Zurich. The first concert as a duo is a tribute to their home country and their respective countries of residence. The first part of the repertoire contains some of the best of German and Swiss late Romanticism: Works by Wagner, Strauss, Wolf and the Swiss Paul Juon and Othmar Schoeck. The second part is dedicated to Iceland with music including works by Atli Heimir Sveinsson, Jórunn Viðar and Tryggvi M. Baldvinsson, with folkloristic elements, colourful melodies and even an Icelandic tango.
