Forntónlistarhátíðin Kona verður haldin í fjórða sinn í október og að þessu sinni á Þjóðminjasafni Íslands. Að hátíðinni stendur Kammerhópurinn ReykjavíkBarokk, í samstarfi við Þjóðminjasafnið og styrkt af Tónlistarsjóði. Hátíðin samanstendur af þrennum tónleikum og leiðsögnum um grunnsýningu safnsins „Þjóð verður til“. Ólíkir munir og saga verða í brennidepli á hverjum viðburði. Flutt verður tónlist eftir konur sem brutust út úr hefðbundnum hlutverkum síns tíma til þess að sinna list sinni.
Leiðsögnin hefst í anddyri safnsins kl. 14 og verða tónleikar haldnir á 2. hæð að henni lokinni.
Gestir greiða einungis hefðbundinn aðgangseyri að safninu á viðburði hátíðarinnar. Aðgangur að safninu er ígildi árskorts og geta gestir því hlýtt á alla viðburði hátíðarinnar fyrir eitt verð. ‍
Frumkvöðlar strengjakvartettsins
Á þessum tónleikum verða fluttir strengjakvartettar eftir þrjú tónskáld sem öll gerðu tilraunir með og þróuðu strengjakvartettformið eins og við þekkjum það í dag. Flutt verða verk eftir Joseph Haydn, Luigi Boccherini og Maddalenu Lombardini Sirmen en árið 1769 gáfu þau öll út safn kvartetta sem eru hver öðrum fjölbreyttari að efnistökum og aðferðum. Leiðsögn í aðdraganda þessara tónleika tengist ferðabók Eggerts Ólafssonar og Bjarna Pálssonar sem gefin var út 1772 og heimsókn Joseph Banks til Íslands sama ár. Forvitnilegt er að skoða íslenskan veruleika 18. aldar í ljósi tónlistarinnar sem samin var á meginlandi Evrópu á sama tíma. ‍

The Kona Music Festival will be held for the fourth time in October, this time at the National Museum of Iceland. The festival is organized by the ReykjavíkBarokk Chamber Group, in collaboration with the National Museum of Iceland and the Music Fund. The festival consists of three concerts and guided tours of the museum's main exhibition "Making a nation". Different items and parts of history will be the focus of each event. The music is by women who broke away from the traditional roles of their time.
The guided tour will begin in the museum's lobby at 2 pm and will be followed by a concert on the 2nd floor. The tour will be in Icelandic.
Guests only pay the regular admission fee to the museum during the festival events. Admission to the museum is equivalent to an annual pass, so guests can enjoy all the festival events for one price.‍
The pioneers of the string quartet
This concert will feature string quartets by three composers who all experimented with and developed the string quartet form as we know it today. The pieces are composed by Joseph Haydn, Luigi Boccherini and Maddalena Lombardini Sirmen, who all published a collection of quartets in 1769, each of which is more diverse in subject matter and method than the other. The guided tour leading up to this concert is linked to the travelogue by Eggert Ólafsson and Bjarni Pálsson, published in 1772, and Joseph Banks' visit to Iceland that year. The event will explore the Icelandic reality of the 18th century in light of the music that was being composed on the European continent at the same time.
