Reykjavík Early Music Festival (https://www.harpa.is/reykjavik-early-music-festival:-hatidarpassi) is the first international festival of its kind in Reykjavík, and will be held in Harpa, from Tuesday to Thursday this week.

The festival is a unique platform for the collaboration of Icelandic and foreign music groups that specialise in the original performance of baroque and early music.
