Renovations to the Skri\u00f0a lecture hall are complete, and the hall is now better equipped for versatile use. In addition to lectures and presentations, Skri\u00f0a is now equipped for musical performances, streaming, recordings, and a variety of events.<\/p>\n

As part of the renovations, the room's sound system was replaced and a new lighting system was installed. Equipment for both audio and video recording was installed, and a new stage was set up. This creates increased opportunities to use Skri\u00f0u for concerts and various events, in addition to its traditional use as a lecture hall. The upgrade supports the priorities of the Iceland Academy of the Arts for diverse and creative teaching methods and learning environments where artistic creation and interdisciplinary connections are at the forefront.<\/p>\n\"\"\n

The first musical performance after the changes<\/h2>\n

Today, November 13, 2026, the first musical performance took place in Skri\u00f0a after the changes. P\u00e1ll Ragnar P\u00e1lsson, composer and head of the Department of Music at LH\u00cd, and Tui Hirv, musicologist and part-time lecturer at LH\u00cd, performed folk songs from Estonia, Great Britain, and the Nordic countries, and with this, Skri\u00f0a was formally given a new role as a venue for live music. The hall thus joins the university's infrastructure, which can accommodate the diverse needs of teaching and artistic creation. We warmly thank P\u00e1ll Ragnar and Tui for the musical performance, which has never sounded better in Skri\u00f0a.<\/p>\n
