Lunga

LungA´s predecessor was a festival named “Hljómstefna”, first held in 1998. The idea of the festival focused on people interested in music, but the ideology was the same as LungA, that is, to combine various musicians in music making and boost peoples interest in music. The festival contained musical education, synchronization and concerts. Events held alongside the festival were open to everyone and courses were open to all musicians. The festival lived through two consecutive years, but in 2000 the festival was changed with more effort put into widening the idea and focus on working with young people at the ages between 16 and 25 years old.
