MAAR is a collaborative project by Ösp Eldjárn, Helga Ragnarsdóttir, and Valeria Pozzo—three friends who all work in music but are now composing together for the very first time. The friends met over a decade ago while living in London and have all been working in music and other creative arts since then. They have worked together for a long time, supporting and playing each other’s music, but are now joining forces for the first time in a joint musical creation.
The spark for this collaborative project came from a conversation between them about the importance of creating an environment that nurtures, supports, and encourages creativity, and they wanted to build such a sanctuary in one another. Consequently, they headed to a summer cottage in South Iceland in the summer of 2024, where, in just one week, they created four songs and lyrics that will grace the band’s debut EP. This EP is only the beginning of their musical journey; the plan is to follow it up with continued songwriting, a full-length album, and concerts for years to come.
The music itself is characterized by their vocals, deep yet enigmatic lyrics, and acoustic instruments.
The house opens at 20:00.
The concert starts at 20:30.
