Bakkastofa
Songs of the Settlement Age, told in music
SAGA MUSICA is a storytelling concert, performed in English, written and performed by Valgeir Guðjónsson and produced by Bakkastofa Culture House. The lyrics describe the people and social atmosphere during the first centuries of the Settlement of Iceland.
Short introductions lead the way from song to song, and when time allows we open for Q&A at the end. The show has been performed for thousands of guests, both foreign and domestic, and has been met with unanimous applause.
