Helgi R. Ingvarsson is a composer based in Brighton, England and Reykjavik Iceland. His music is regularly premiered and performed in the Nordic countries and Great Britain and among his works are e.g. a whole host of choral works, art songs, instrumental works for chamber groups, a few experimental performance pieces and seven operas. Opera Magazine described Ingvarsson’s opera Music and the Brain as being “immediately coherent and engaging“ (2022), and his music for strings was described by Icelandic critic Jónas Sen to have “a strong personal style” which “echoes the past” (2016) and critic Silja Aðalsteinsdóttir said Ingvarsson’s music is “full of emotion and mesmerising” (2022).

Recordings of his works are available on all major streaming services as well as on his website: https://helgiingvarsson.com Ingvarsson holds a doctorate degree in music composition (DMus) from the Guildhall School of Music and Drama London, generously supported by the Guildhall School Trust.
