SUMMARTÓNAR 2015This year we celebrate the 24rd Summartónar festival
Felagið Føroysk Tónaskøld (Association of Faroese Composers) organizes the annual Summartónar festival all over the Faroe Islands. With its focus on composition, the Summartónar festival is a continuous, vital dynamo in the development of Faroese music.The 2014 festival programme reflects its role as a platform for new works by Faroese composers, many of them first performances. In the past few years, Summartónar has also presented improvised music, as well as contemporary folk music.
