viibra release concert

on May 26th, 2024, the flute septet viibra celebrated the release of their highly anticipated debut album with a captivating concert at Norðurljós Harpa. this special performance marked a significant milestone for the group, with four pieces from their self-titled album premiering live on stage.

viibra’s album showcases the septet’s collective creative prowess, exploring the possibilities of expanded flute playing while inviting a range of collaborators to join them on their artistic journey. founded in 2016 to support Björk’s Utopia album, viibra has since become known for their dynamic contributions to Björk’s theatrical concert Cornucopia, which they performed in from 2018 to 2023.

this concert was further enriched by the collaboration with Margrét Bjarnadóttir, an artist and choreographer who has worked with the septet on stage movements for nearly seven years. Margrét's unique ability to weave movement in harmony with the flutes brought new depth to the music, transforming the performance into an immersive, multidimensional experience.

the concert, produced by marvaða, was a momentous occasion as viibra not only marked the release of their first album but also showcased the continued evolution of their sound and artistic vision.
