With the concert and the book Life as a Promising Beginning, we are remembering Peeter Lilje (1950–1993), a former head conductor of ERSO.
Good friends of Peeter Lilje will step in front of the orchestra: Nikolai Aleksejev, a schoolmate from the days of Leningrad Conservatory and a former head conductor of ERSO who made his first contacts with ERSO in 1987 thanks to Peeter Lilje, and Kalle Randalu, a man with whom they played music in Estonia and many cities in the Soviet Union. The programme is a musical equivalent of Peeter Lilje. You can buy the freshly published first overview of the musical life of Peeter Lilje by Tiina Mattisen, Maia Lilje, and Ene Pilliroog.
