Where to From
Where to From is commissioned by Reykjavík Arts Festival, Barbican Centre, Vienna Konzerthaus and Holland Festival. In addition to Hildur, who sings and plays cello, the performance features Liam Byrne on viola da gamba, vocalists Peyee Chen and Nina Guo, violist Sarah Saviet, and cellists Constance Ricard and Clare O’Connell. Lighting design is by Theresa Baumgartner and sound design by Francesco Donadello.
On Saturday 6 June at 20:00, a concert will take place in Harpa’s Silfurberg, where Hildur and her ensemble perform Where to From for the first time in Iceland, along with Hildur's earlier works.
She says of the piece:
“I have a fairly constant stream of music in my head. Sometimes I record this stream, and it becomes a kind of snapshot of my emotions at that moment. Where to From is my audio diary. I’m excited to open it up to the audience at Harpa, together with good friends.”
The 2026 Artist-in-Residence is Hildur Guðnadóttir. Three events will showcase her and her music during the festival.
