Welcome to a musical performance by P\u00e1ll Ragnar P\u00e1lsson and Tui Hirv within the retrospective exhibition of Valger\u00f0ur Briem on Wednesday, 14 October, from 12:15 to 13:00.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Free admission. Everyone is welcome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Guitarist and composer P\u00e1ll Ragnar P\u00e1lsson and singer and musicologist Tui Hirv grew up in very different worlds. He was immersed in the Icelandic rock scene, with all the freedom and playfulness that came with it, while she was shaped by Estonia\u2019s rigorous academic education system and strong choral tradition. Their paths crossed at the Estonian Academy of Music and Theatre in Tallinn, and since then they have collaborated on artistic projects, with Tui performing P\u00e1ll\u2019s compositions both in Iceland and abroad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The songs that Tui and P\u00e1ll Ragnar will perform at the concert are drawn from their forthcoming album, Layers<\/em>, which will be released by Sono Luminus on 23 October. The album features arrangements by Tui and P\u00e1ll of traditional sacred folk songs, most of them from Estonia, but also from the Nordic countries and the British Isles. These songs have been sung for centuries and have evolved through generations of performers and changing circumstances. The album\u2019s title, Layers<\/em>, refers both to the origins of the songs and to the many different lives they have taken on over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Valger\u00f0ur often utilised layers in her art practice, adding one layer on top of another, allowing the process itself to guide the outcome. P\u00e1ll and Tui create their music in a similar way with the album title Layers<\/em> inspired by that approach. The album cover features an image of a work from Landlit<\/em>, a series by Valger\u00f0ur Briem.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Welcome to a musical performance by P\u00e1ll Ragnar P\u00e1lsson and Tui Hirv within the retrospective exhibition of Valger\u00f0ur Briem on Wednesday, 14 October, from 12:15 to 13:00.
