Welcome to Summartnar 2013

This year we celebrate the 22nd Summartnar festival.
Felagi Froysk Tnaskld (Association of Faroese Composers) organizes the annual Summartnar festival all over the Faroe Islands. With its focus on composition, the Summartnar festival is a continuous, vital dynamo in the development of Faroese music. The 2013 festival programme reflects its role as a platform for new works by Faroese composers, many of them first performances. In the past few years, Summartnar has also presented improvised music, as well as contemporary folk music and a few rock concerts.

- and ancient ballads

One of the recurring cultural events in European culture is the vision of the mythical dragon slayer. He appears in many shapes and under different names, but the essence of the stories is the cultural hero who, despite poor odds, kills the great dragon or serpent in the mythical landscape.

This beautiful folder contains the stamp sheet "Regin the Blacksmith" and a brief text in English and Chinese telling the story. The stamp sheet is designed by Anker Eli Petersen. Price: 69.00 DKK
