summartónar is organized by Felagið Føroysk tónaskøld (Association of Faroese Composers) in collaboration with

norðurlandahúsið í Føroyum (the nordic house)

this year it is 25 years since the Association of Faroese Composers (Felagið Føroysk tónaskøld) organized the very first summartónar festival. summartónar 2016 – the 25th festival – focused on Faroese music.

For 2017 we go global. the Association of Faroese Composers is a member of the International society of Contemporary Music (IsCM) and this year we will hear music from six continents, including works by composers from Argentina, usA, new Zealand, europe, Japan, and south Africa.

Come and join us on our musical journey as we open our windows onto the world.

A brief history of summArtónArBeginning in 1984, Faroese composers started organizing concerts of their own music together with works by international composers. After establishing the Association of Faroese Composers (Felagið Føroysk tónaskøld) in 1987, these concerts became more regular, especially with the annual spring Concert and a

series of concerts over the summer in collaboration with the Listasavn Føroya. In 1991 a concert with works by several Faroese composers was presented at the st Magnus Festival in orkney. After participating at a festival in a community comparable with the Faroe Islands, we decided to establish a similar festival the following year in the Faroes. We used the name summartónar from the beginning and in 1992 15 concerts were held in tórshavn, Kirkjubøur and Runavík with compositions by William heinesen, edvard nyholm Debess, Alti K. Petersen, Pauli í sandagerði, heðin Meitil, Bjarni Restorff, Ólavur Jøkladal, h.J. højgaard, esmar Jacobsen, sunleif Rasmussen, Kristian Blak, Richard stanley and graeme Rudd in addition to classical repertoire.

since these early years, the musical scene in the Faroes has gone from strength to strength and our festival reflects the diversity and creativity of today’s musicians who bring Faroese music to the world and international music to the Faroes.

This year we celebrate the 26th Summartónar festival

alda maGNa comprises four musicians who all live

in the Faroe Islands. the compositions the group perform

are atmospheric wanderings into abstract soundscapes

with references to historical and contemporary music.

aldUbáRaN In 1995 seven young Faroese musicians

formed an ensemble with the main purpose to perform

and promote Faroese music. this ensemble is Aldubáran.

today Aldubáran has 14 members playing the flute,

clarinet, bassoon, horn, trumpet, trombone, violin, viola,

guitar and piano. this rather untraditional combination

of instruments makes for great diversity in concerts and

gives scope for composers. Aldubáran has commissioned

and premiered a vast number of works by Faroese and

foreign composers which have been well received by

the press and public. Albeit Faroese music plays a major

part in their programmes the masterpieces of the music

literature are equally important. they have performed

works such as schoenberg’s Pierrot Lunaire, stravinsky’s

septet, octet, and A soldier’s tale, and schubert’s octet.

aNdRaS & dáVUR A friendship that started in

tórshavn Brass Band. they went their separate ways

through europe, and after many years in different

countries they have now put their heads together again as

a duo project. At their first performance at summartónar

2016, they wrote original works, as well as adapted

music from their classical music heritage. In 2017 they

will again play together some original works, and they will

be a part of IsCM week. Dávur lives in glasgow and works

in the Royal scottish national orchestra. Andras lives in

Denmark and works in the Royal Lifeguard Band, and is

a member of Athelas sinfonietta and ensemble scenatet.

aNdReaS ReSToRff studied cello at the Royal

Danish Academy, Copenhagen. since then he has been

a regular cellist in the Faroese symphony orchestra and

has recently also played pop music with artists such as

teitur and eivør.

aNNa kaTRiN ØSSURSdÓTTiR eGilSTRØð

Inspired by raw nature and big city life, Anna Katrin

sculpts her voice in an electronic landscape of sound

scapes and beats. With songs written in Faroese and

english. normally Anna Katrin performs with vocals and

electronics but for the Concerto grotto concert it will be

her pure, naked voice that meets with the cave and the

ocean’s roar. Anna Katrin is also known as the singer in

the band valravn.

aRNold lUdViG is a Faroese composer and the

2005 Atlantic Music event, award winner for Best bassist.

In 1992, he studied Jazz Performance at FIh music

school in Iceland, was awarded a scholarship for Best

performer, and furthered his studies in jazz at Mcgill

university, in Montreal, Canada, from 1993–95. his cd

releases on tutl Records include, Arnold Ludvig sextet,

voyAges, in 2013 and ICeLAnD, in 2016, both have

received great reviews from DK and Fo.

aRNold lUdViG QUaRTeT based in the Faroe

Islands, was founded in 2016 as an extention to his

sextet which he founded in Denmark back in 2012.

Arnold started playing the sextet repertoire in trio last

IMAGINE a hotel, that doesn’t feel like a hotel. Where you instantly fi nd you’re at home, and not a paying customer. Where you make friends with the staff and become part of the family. You have just pictured living at Gjáargarður.

Nestled between the high mountains, the drive alone makes it worth a visit. In the lush summer months you may feel like you’re in the Austrian Alps – in the winter, you are strug-gling to make it through Mordor. Once you’re there just feel yourself unwind.

This is Gjáargarður. We like to call it a Guesthouse. You will like to call it Home.
