Info

Tectonics is a Music Festival curated by Ilan Volkov, proudly presented by Iceland Symphony Orchestra at Harpa Concert Hall in Reykjavík 10-12 April 2014. How can an orchestra, the nineteenth-century beast, be more radical and experimental? Is it possible? This is one of the questions that started the journey that led to the first Tectonics festival in Reykjavík. Tectonics features programmes of classical modern music combined with other new music genres such as improvisation, electronics and rock. In 2014 Tectonics will take place in five different cities- Reykjavik with Iceland Symphony,Glasgow with BBC Scottish Symphony,Adelaide with Adelaide Symphony,NY at Issue Project Room and Tel-Aviv with the Israeli Contemporary Players.

Proudly presented by Iceland Symphony Orchestra
