Stefán Ragnar

Stefán was Principal Flute of the Metropolitan Opera in New York from 2008 to 2016 and of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra from 2015 to 2025. This past autumn, he took up the position of Principal Flute with the Berlin Philharmonic. In addition, he regularly performs as a soloist and visiting tutor around the world.

It is a great pleasure to welcome Stefán Ragnar as he now performs for the first time at Reykjavík Arts Festival, with concerts taking place in Reykjavík and in East Iceland where Stefán grew up. This is a unique opportunity to hear Stefán Ragnar perform with his dear musical friends, cellist Sigurgeir Agnarsson and pianist Liam Kaplan. The programme will feature works by composers such as Prokofiev, Villa-Lobos and Mendelssohn.
