Today on RÚV English Radio, the free lunchtime concerts at two city libraries on Friday and Saturday.

This Friday (Valentine's Day), and Saturday, singer Marína Ósk, guitarist Kjartan Baldursson, and double bassist Leifur Gunnarsson will perform a wide selection of music in honour of Saint Valentine.

The trio will play a variety of music and, they say, "attempt to shed light on questions about love that are on the minds of concertgoers".

It's part of a concert series organised by Reykjavík City Library in collaboration with Leifur Gunnarsson, one of the three performers this weekend, and also the series artistic director.

Darren met with Leifur to hear more about this weekend's free concerts. You can find more details here - https://www.ruv.is/english/2025-02-12-love-is-in-the-air-at-capital-libraries-436024
