Stirni Ensemble has put together a program of young composers from across the globe. Members of Stirni Ensemble all studied music in the Netherlands at a certain point and wanted to bring to the festival a program of compositions of the composers that they have worked with over there and at the same time have the opportunity to premiere works by Icelandic composers.
