Soundtrack<\/strong> is a concert series dedicated to music from the 20th and 21st centuries, where the unique imagination and artistic struggle of composers lead listeners into previously uncharted territory. The name of the concert series is a reference to the smallest meaningful sound units of languages, basic units that can be pieced together in different ways to create an attempt at meaning. Here, Hafnarborg is presenting a concert series intended to showcase diverse works by leading contemporary composers. The focus will be on works that are best enjoyed in the intimate setting offered by the Hafnarborg venue, a space that is considered unique among the concert halls of the capital region.<\/p>\n
