Episode 781 - UPPRÁSIN, HARPA

Today on RÚV English Radio, the new music series at Reykjavík's Harpa.

Upprásin is a concert series dedicated to the grassroots of Icelandic music, across musical genres.

The goal is for music enthusiasts to be able to hear a variety of new Icelandic music, straight from the grassroots, performed in the nation's concert house.

Upprásin takes place in Kaldalón hall in Harpa one Tuesday evening a month.
