Family programme
Harpa strongly emphasizes children's and family culture by offering a free family programme accessible to all children and guests.
Harpa aims to engage all children, showing them that they belong in Harpa, can enjoy culture and art, and have the opportunity to create themselves.
In Harpa's programme policy for children and families, there is a strong emphasis on adapting events for families from diverse backgrounds and with various needs. The focus is on participation, experience, education, diversity, and multiculturalism. The goal is to connect with different segments of society, including providing interpretation in various languages or directly involving children from different kindergartens, primary schools, and music schools.
Programme for the Year 2024-2025
The programme is designed with inclusion and accessibility for all children and families, featuring workshops and musical events in collaboration with associations and rights organisations representing various groups and artists.
Please note that the following are all events for children and families held at Harpa. It’s important to clarify that Harpa also rents out halls to event organisers for events that are not part of its family programme. Events organised by Harpa are free and specially marked as part of its Family Programme.
Hljóðhimnar
Hljódhimnar is a space for children and their families to discover the magical world of sound and tones. You can imagine yourself as the conductor of the Iceland Symphony Orchestra, look into the mouse holes of Maxímús Músíkús, sail around the oceans with the Reykjavik Big Band, or call the opera phone. In Hljóðhimnar, the heart of children's culture beats in Harpa. The space is accessible to visitors during the building's opening hours, and entry is free.
