ENSO is preparing for its third American tour, accompanied by their current and former principal conductors, Neeme Järvi and Arvo Volmer. Only a couple of days before their departure, works to be performed on the American tour will be presented to the home audience at the concert “Tallinn → Ann Arbor”. The name of the concert makes reference to one of the performances in the State of Michigan during a concert tour that extends from Florida to California.

Triin Ruubel, leader of ENSO, will play solo violin for the Mendelssohn violin concerto. She has gained recognition as an energetic leader of the orchestra as well as a violin virtuoso. She debuted as a soloist with ENSO at the opening concert of the 2015/16 season, performing the Violin Concerto by Sibelius under the baton of Neeme Järvi. She has also performed as a soloist with other orchestras both Estonian and international. Ruubel is a member of various chamber ensembles and teaches at the Estonian Academy of Music and Theatre.

The concert will be conducted by Arvo Volmer, the long-time principal conductor and artistic director of the Estonian National Opera, the Adelaide Symphony Orchestra and the Oulu Sinfonia. He has worked with ENSO for 30 years: from 1993 to 2001 as its principal conductor. From the 2014/15 season he has been working as the principal conductor of the Haydn Orchestra of Bolzano and Trento in northern Italy.
