Programme:
The programme includes songs by Eduard Tubin composed during his Estonian periood.

Like Mahler before him, Eduard Tubin found his path to the symphony through the world of song. But while Mahler threaded his melodies directly into the fabric of his symphonies, Tubin let his songs whisper into the textures and harmonies that would become his ignatuure. Early vocal compositions reveal the sensitivity and delicate artistry of the young Eduard Tubin.“

Eduard Tubin set the texts of several Estonian poets to music, including Karl-Eduard Sööt, Villem Grünthal-Ridala, Ernst Enno, Eino Leino, Gustav Suits, Marie Under, and Juhan Liiv. What captivated Tubin about these authors’ works?

Eero Epner will be discussing lyricism of love in Estonian art.
