Episode 702 - VESPERS, HARPA

Today on RÚV English Radio, the choirs bringing beautiful music to Harpa this Sunday.

Vocal ensembles Kyrja and Yrkja together present Vespers: the All-Night Vigil of Sergei Rachmaninoff in Norðurljós, Harpa, this Sunday, with only twenty singers - and no conductor. (https://tix.is/en/event/19612/sigildir-sunnudagar-vespers-eftir-rachmaninoff)

It's quite a feat.

Darren spoke to artistic co-director of both choirs and bassist Philip Barkhudarov, for a preview.
