Bringing the best Estonian talent together with leading musicians from around the world, the Estonian Festival Orchestra assembles for its highly anticipated North American debut during the global celebration of Arvo Pärt at 90. Led by Artistic Director Paavo Järvi, they’re joined by the Grammy Award–winning Pärt specialists of the Estonian Philharmonic Chamber Choir and soloists who include Midori, Hans Christian Aavik, and composer-pianist Nico Muhly. The wide-ranging program features significant early works, including a piece with a historic connection to Carnegie Hall; major works from Pärt’s game-changing tintinnabuli style; powerful 21st-century selections; and more. Together, it’s a stunning survey of Pärt’s singular musical world, performed by many of the artists who know it best.
