The Estonian Philharmonic Chamber Choir has become one of the most famous Estonian music collectives in the world. In one season, the choir usually gives 60-70 concerts in Estonia and abroad. The repertoire spans from medieval Gregorian chant to the compositions of the 21st century. A special focus is on introducing the oeuvre of Estonian composers to the world. The current programme is excitingly international: new compositions have been composed specifically for this concert by the Estonian composer Jüri Reinvere who studied in Poland and Finland but currently resides in Germany; Andrus Kallastu who also studied in Finland; and the Iranian composer Arash Yazdani who has lived in Estonia already for many years. The musicians of this concert include accordionist Momir Novakovic from Serbia who will be performing Norwegian (Arne Nordheim), Russian music with Tatar roots (Sofia Gubaidulina) and Estonian (Erkki-Sven Tüür) music. The choir will be conducted by the Dutch singer and conductor Lodewijk van der Ree.

In collaboration with Eesti Kontsert and Estonian Philharmonic Chamber Choir.
