Antonía Hevesi, pianist, has from the beginning been the artistic director of the lunchtime concerts in Hafnarborg, which have been a regular part of the museum’s program since 2003. Antonía has invited many of the country’s leading singers to join her, and the aim of the concerts is to give guests the opportunity to enjoy live musical performance in a pleasant atmosphere.
