The concert will feature work from his last album, Architecture of Loss, as well as other material and may, he says, include some music from the 16th century. “I like to get a sense of the place and the people before finalising the programme,” says Sigurdsson.

He will be joined by Irish violist Liam Byrne, a professor at London’s Guildhall School of Music and Drama who recently worked with pop star Damon Albarn on his new opera Dr Dee.
