Biography

Noted Icelandic classical composer and conductor, Daniel Bjarnason has been garnering widespread acclaim for his debut album, Processions (2010). The album saw Daniel become the fifth artist released on the innovative Bedroom Community label, which is also home to Nico Muhly, Sam Amidon, Ben Frost, Valgeir Sigurdsson (who produced and mixed Processions) and newest member Puzzle Muteson.

As well as frequently conducting the Icelandic Opera and Iceland Symphony Orchestra, Daniel is the chief conductor and artistic leader for the Isafold Chamber Orchestra. Daniel’s Isafold piece ‘All sounds to silence come’ was awarded by the International Composers Rostrum in 2007.

Daniel’s work with artists and orchestras bridges the classical and contemporary worlds. For Sigur Rós’ epic Abbey Road live recording of Ára bátur, Daniel conducted the London Sinfonietta and London Oratory Boy’s Choir. His sought after arrangements have also featured on award winning albums by folk chanteuse Ólöf Arnalds and Icelandic pop sensations, Hjaltalin.
