Krakow FMF – Live From Studio – Atli Örvarsson

“#stayhome and listen to the nostalgic sounds coming straight from Iceland arranged exclusively for FMF for piano and strings by the composer, our FMF friend Atli Örvarsson

 

–> ESPECIALLY FOR FMF AN EXCLUSIVE CONCERT FROM THE Menningarhúsið Hof CONCERT HALL IN AKUREYRI, THE COMPOSER’S HOMETOWN.

 

–> When asked about his well-being during the current situation, Atli Örvarsson joked that little has changed – he is still locked up in his studio in Akureyri, Iceland creating his music.

 

–> We caught him on the final touch of the new album titled YOU ARE HERE which will see the light of the day this week. FMF fans will be the first ones to hear premiere pieces from the album performed live!

 

–> Moreover, Atli will play music from the DEFENDING JACOB series, entering the AppleTV+ platform this week, based on the literary bestseller by William Landay (premiere of the series on April, 24th).

 

–> He will also play some of the pieces from his own favorite score RAMS.

 

–> Atli invited a few friends, musicians from Reykjavík to participate in the project. Together, they will play a concert to an empty audience, of course keeping safe distances from each other. He will play the piano himself, although we asked him to include in the repertoire some arrangements for the accordion, which is Atli’s second instrument. This Sunday we will see for ourselves if this comes true!

 

–> Atli Örvarsson has already been our FMF guest twice. During the TV Series Gala in 2015 we heard his suite from the Chicago Fire series, while 3 years later he came to us with his band Torrek which is a fusion of Irish and Icelandic folk music.

 

-> See you on Sunday, 26th of April at 7 PM! #stayhome
