麻豆约拍

Join Icelandic composer and pianist 脫lafur Arnalds for another unique musical adventure to seek out that all too elusive feeling of calm.

This week 脫lafur marks midsummer - or J贸nsmessa - with a soundtrack of calming sun-filled songs to celebrate the summer solstice. 脫lafur reflects on some of the Icelandic traditions of this time of year that he enjoys, and shares a selection of warming music inspired by the midnight sun from the likes of Max Richter, Lara Somogyi and Vanbur.

Plus, the Norwegian musician AURORA shares her sonic safe haven - the piece of music that brings her ultimate calm. She picks a track that always makes her feel at peace, even when the world feels very busy, with a choice that comes as a nice surprise to 脫lafur.
