Amsterdam - Netherlands

Holland Festival 2026: Hildur Guðnadóttir and the Iceland Symphony Orchestra at the Concertgebouw

on 15 June 2026

The musical highlight

Hildur Guðnadóttir is one of the most significant composers of our time. On 15 June 2026, she will present her programme *Nærmynd* in the Main Hall of the Concertgebouw, together with the Iceland Symphony Orchestra.

The word Nærmynd can be understood as a close-up, that is, a detailed, personal glimpse into Hildur Guðnadóttir’s musical world.
Hildur Guðnadóttir, an associate artist of the Holland Festival 2026, has made music history with her film scores for Joker, TÁR and

A Haunting in Venice. In Nærmynd, you will hear her award-winning compositions alongside works by artists who have influenced her: Arvo Pärt, Ryuichi Sakamoto, Kaija Saariaho, Mica Levi and Alvin Lucier. The programme is complemented by two new works written especially for this evening. The musical direction is in the hands of Daníel Bjarnason, one of Iceland’s leading conductors and composers.

 

Discover Amsterdam: classical music meets cosmopolitan flair

In June, Amsterdam shows itself from its most beautiful side. The days are long, the canals glisten in the evening light, and the city is alive. Stroll along the canals, visit the Van Gogh Museum and enjoy the relaxed, cosmopolitan atmosphere of this city.
