Music nutrition with Voces Thules

The vocal group Voces Thules was founded in 1991 and has managed to establish itself as one of the main musical groups in Iceland in the field of medieval music. The group has been a leading force in research and performance of the Icelandic musical tradition of the Middle Ages. The group's most extensive project is the overall performance, recording and publication of Þorlákstíð, one of the most significant Icelandic music manuscripts, which were published in April 2006 and won the Icelandic Music Award as Album of the Year in Classical and Contemporary Music. Voces Thules has performed at international music festivals in many parts of Europe and Japan. The group was nominated for the Nordic Council's Music Awards as performers of the year 2008. The Voces Thules group has shared its knowledge and experience at the level of the Iceland Academy of the Arts, where an annual course is held in medieval music.

Voces Thules' singers, Eyjólfur Eyjólfsson, Eggert Pálsson Einar Jóhannesson, Eiríkur Hreinn Helgason and Sigurður Halldórsson, professor at the music department of LHÍ, performed new arrangements of religious songs from the 12th to the 19th century related to Advent and Nicholas Mass at a concert in the hall of the Music School in Garðabær organized by Garðabær this November.
