Reykholt Chamber Music Festival was founded in 1997. The festival is held around the date of the consecration of Reykholt's new church, on and around the last Sunday of July each year. 

 

The festival slogan, Classical Music in Historical Surroundings, describes the festival to a tee. Reykholt's scenery, serenity and the outstanding sound of the church sets the audience up for a musical experience of the highest caliber, at one of Iceland's most notable historical places.

 

Sigurgeir Agnarsson cellist is the festival's artistic director.
