Hans Christian Aavik has become a central figure in the Estonian string music scene. For this String Focus mini-festival, he has assembled an ensemble of fellow musicians from Estonia and the Kronberg Academy. Together, they perform a diverse and exciting repertoire that, due to its complexity, is rarely heard on local stages. This concert follows a similar, highly successful collaboration from a few years ago that was met with great enthusiasm by the audience.
Duration: appr. 2 h (with intermission)
