Björk releases Björk Orkestral with the Hamrahlíð Choir on 27 November 2026, a live recording built from performances at Reykjavík’s Harpa Concert Hall. The release is presented in physical formats by OLI Records, linking the Icelandic artist’s choral work to her experimental pop catalogue.
Björk Orkestral brings Harpa performances to physical formats
The release is drawn from a concert series involving the 50-person Hamrahlíð Choir, with the ensemble conducted by Þorgerður Ingólfsdóttir. Musical director Bergur Þórisson handled organ and electronics, while the programme centres primarily on material from Medúlla.
OLI Records lists the release date and formats as 27 November 2026, with LP, CD, Blu-ray and DVD editions. The Fader describes the live recording as a document of the Harpa performances.
Björk’s Icelandic catalogue meets a choir-led live release
Björk’s Icelandic identity shapes a catalogue that moves between electronic music, pop, avant-garde composition and orchestral writing. Britannica’s biography identifies her as an Icelandic singer-songwriter and follows her solo breakthrough through Debut.
Her catalogue includes Post, Homogenic, Vespertine, Medúlla, Biophilia, Vulnicura, Utopia and Fossora. The new live set places choral arrangements at the centre of that catalogue, joining recorded performance with a physical release.
How the Orkestral programme connects with Medúlla
OLI Records lists 11 tracks, including Show Me Forgiveness, Pleasure Is All Mine, Hidden Place, Cosmogony, Unravel, Who Is It and New World. The sequence also features Sonnets / Unrealities XI, Vertebræ by Vertebræ, Mouth’s Cradle and Where Is the Line.
The programme connects the choir’s vocal presence with the album’s wider interest in the human voice. It also places a concert recording beside the catalogue that shaped Björk’s international solo career.
