Barokkbandið Brák

Barokkbandið Brák was founded in 2015 in collaboration with Elfa´s collegues Guðbjörg Hlín Guðmundsdóttir and Laufey Jensdóttir. The ensemble mainly consists of Icelandic musicians who all share a passion for historically informed performance of Renaissance and Baroque music and seek to bring the music from this period to a wide audience in Iceland and abroad.

Reykjavík Early Music Festival is the first international early music festival in Reykjavík and the inaugural edition took place from 26-28 March 2024 in Harpa Concert Hall. The festival team, led by artistic director and violinist Elfa Rún Kristinsdóttir, has created a unique platform for the collaboration of Icelandic and international music groups that specialize in historical performance practice.
