Gabríel Ólafs’ holistic vision, melodic story-telling, and atmospheric arrangements set him apart as a true auteur of postmodern classical music. At only 24, he is arguably Gen Z’s most important composer. After his acclaimed Piano Works (2020) and poetic multi-media piece Solon Islandus (2022), Gabríel returns with a new album inspired by the folk songs of his native Iceland.
GABRÍEL IS CO-FOUNDER OF THE REYKJAVIK RECORDING ORCHESTRA (RRO), ICELAND’S FIRST DEDICATED ORCHESTRA PERFORMING FOR FILM, TV, MUSIC AND GAMES BASED IN HARPA HALL. MORE INFO: HTTPS://WWW.RRO.IS/
