We have a major very exciting announcement for the 126th Annual Deuce of August Icelandic Celebration!!! We just received confirmation yesterday that a 70 voice "Karlakór" (male choir) will be performing a full concert at our 2025 Celebration! If you have never heard an Icelandic male choir before, you are in for a real treat! Mark your calendars now for the 126th Deuce on August 1st to August 3rd! The Deuce! It's legendary!
Here are the details in the message we received:
Karlakór Hreppamanna og Sprettskórinn
The male voice choirs Karlakór Hreppamanna and Sprettskórinn are planning a concert trip to you in August 2025. We are hoping to take part in Íslendingahátíð in Mountain on Saturday the 2nd of August and on Monday the 4th of August in Íslendingadagurinn in Gimli. In each choir we have over 40 members, but in this trip we will be joined together as one choir of around 70 singers, as both choirs have the same conductor. Karlakór Hreppamanna is from the countryside in Árnessýsla (near Gullfoss and Geysir) and Sprettskórinn is from Kópavogur, and was established by horse owners from Kópavogur and Reykjavík more than 30 years ago. Our youngest member is 17 years old (just happens to be son of our soloist and grandson of the conductor) and the oldest is around 80 years old. We will of course give you a sample of many famous Icelandic tunes, written in the past one hundred years. Together with our wives the group is now counting 123 persons.
The conductor is Atli Guðlaugsson, pianist is Sigurður Helgi Oddsson and Bjarni Atlason baritone is our soloist.
