Tallinn Chamber Orchestra Interprets Pärt & Saariaho
In this concert, the Tallinn Chamber Orchestra evokes memories and a melancholy mood. The orchestra will perform Terra Memoria by the late Kaija Saariaho, “dedicated to those who have left us”. Music by Arvo Pärt includes Cantus in Memoriam Benjamin Britten. Alisson Kruusmaa, whose music is often described as mild, delicate and contemplative, has contributed a new composition. There is also room on stage for jumping joy, for example when Yena Choi sings arias by Haydn’s pupil Marianna Martinez on the subject of first love.
