The Iceland Symphony Orchestra, founded in 1950, has been a pillar of the nation's cultural life for more than half a century. Its achievements and continuing ambitions are admirable and it is with great pride that Stodir remains the orchestra's biggest sponsor.
Currently involved in a four-year sponsorship agreement with the orchestra, Stodir is contributing a total of ISK 40 million, one of the biggest cultural grants ever made by a private company in Iceland. Part of the grant is being used for a new position - an educational representative of the orchestra whose role will be to increase the level of musical education for children and to increase awareness of the country's largest orchestra.
In 2009 the Iceland Symphony Orchestra will be a major attraction at the new and long-awaited concert and conference centre in Reykjavik harbour. Here, the orchestra and its audiences will benefit from a much larger and acoustically more sophisticated concert auditorium.
