Experience John Storgårds live on November 19th

John Storgårds will conduct a concert at Eldborg - Main Hall within Harpa Concert Hall in Reykjavik, Iceland on November 19, 2026. Storgårds is a Finnish conductor renowned for his interpretations of contemporary music, particularly that of Nordic composers, alongside standard repertoire. His conducting style is often described as possessing clarity and precision, with a focus on textural detail and dynamic range. He frequently champions lesser-known works and collaborates with composers directly.

Eldborg is the largest hall within Harpa Concert Hall, designed by Henning Larsen Architects and Batteríið Architects. It boasts a seating capacity of approximately 1,800 people and is notable for its exceptional acoustics, achieved through a combination of innovative design elements including adjustable acoustic elements and a ‘floating’ stage construction. The hall’s design draws inspiration from Icelandic basalt columns and the Northern Lights, utilizing glass facades to offer views of the surrounding Reykjavik harbor and mountains. Harpa Concert Hall itself opened in 2011, becoming a landmark building representing Iceland’s cultural resurgence following the 2008 financial crisis. Eldborg hosts a wide variety of performances including orchestral concerts, opera, ballet, and large-scale conferences.
