Major Event in Hof

After leaving Iceland’s music scene, Akureyri native and film composer Atli Örvarsson studied at the prestigious Berklee College of Music, focusing on film scoring, and went on to complete a master’s degree at the North Carolina School of the Arts. Since then, he has composed and arranged music for films and TV series to critical acclaim and is today one of the world’s most sought-after film composers.

Atli has been Grammy-nominated and in April 2024 received a BAFTA for the music in the Apple TV+ series Silo.

In this event, Atli himself will describe how the sound world of Silo was created.

For the first time in Iceland, the premiere episode of Silo will be shown on a big screen with live accompaniment by the Symphony Orchestra of Norðurland.

Additionally, “Ljós í myrkri”, a new work by Atli, will have its premiere.

Conductor: Atli Örvarsson
