20:50 Magnús Jóhann (IS) – Iceland Airwaves, Fríkirkjan
Critically acclaimed Icelandic artist Magnús Jóhann performs solo at Fríkirkjan, merging contemporary classical piano with jazz and electronics, he delivers ethereal, dynamic performances full of emotional depth and cinematic qualities.
Equally adept as a composer, producer and keyboardist, Magnús Jóhann’s presence was a marker of quality on hundreds of contemporary pop, r&b and hip-hop recordings in Iceland long before his eclectic interests exploded onto ambitious solo albums spanning introspective jazz, timeless popular songs, dissonant string scores and oddball electronics.
