Tomorrow, the first day of summer, on April 20, there will be original and varied musical events all over Harpa at the European music festival BIG BANG. The music festival aims to put children's experiences in the foreground.
Harpa is filled with musical children who get to enjoy diverse musical events. Concerts, installations and music-related workshops will be offered under the guidance of music professionals.
Among those who perform are the drumming group Maputo Mozambique, the DJ Ívar Pétur whipping records at Baby rave and Los Bomboneros performing sweet tunes.
This past winter, children from all over Iceland have been working on choosing material for a so-called "Golden Record" to send into space, under the guidance of music teachers and a multidisciplinary team of artists and scientists. Now it's time for the big moment when the song will be performed by Grafarvog's school band and sung by children's choirs. The song is written by children for aliens and will be sent into space.
Everyone should find something suitable at BIG BANG.
