Graduale Nobili was established around the turn of the century by organist and music prodigy Jón Stefánsson in Langholtskirkja. The choir has become one of the most successful choirs of Iceland. It consists of 26 members from the ages 18-26. The choir has toured with Björk and worked with many other renowned artists, for example Fleet Foxes. Recently Graduale Nobili released an album titled Vökuró which features 16 Icelandic choir pieces, both new and classic. Graduale Nobili's choir director is Sunna Karen Einarsdóttir.

Huldur Chamber Choir took its first steps in the fall of 2021. The name of the choir comes from the Huldur of Nordic folklore who drives the ocean waves forward with her langspil or sews sunshine into the droplets of the waterfall. Huldur has 29 members and has taken an active role in the choir scene in Reykjavík these past years, held concerts and premiered 28 pieces in just two years by, for example, Hafsteinn Þórólfsson, Hildigunnur Rúnarsdóttir,
Hróðmar Ingi Sigurbjörnsson and Hugi Guðmundsson - obvious H-theme here. Huldur's choir director is Hreiðar Ingi Þorsteinsson.
