    Hlíf has performed numerous concerts as a soloist and with various ensembles. Concert sites include New York - Weill Hall at Carnegie Hall and Washington DC as a part of the Embassy Series. With this concert, and a previous one last January, she has performed all three sonatas, and three partitas for solo violin by J.S. Bach in New York.

“Hlíf Sigurjónsdóttir plays with a great purity of tone which she can tailor to the historical and individual style of the pieces she performs. Her bowing is always flexible and accurate, and her sense of pitch is precise. She is an excellent representative of music in a very musically intense nation”.
