Arvo Pärt 90: Ensemble Resonanz / Estnischer Philharmonischer Kammerchor / Tõnu Kaljuste

In the organizer's words:

The calling card of Baltic music

Founded in 1981 by Tõnu Kaljuste, the Estonian Philharmonic Chamber Choir (EPCC) is now one of the most renowned chamber choirs in Europe. And even though the Estonian conductor handed over the direction of the choir after 20 successful years, he still enjoys returning to the ensemble. Kaljuste and the EPCC are regarded as absolute authorities, particularly for the works of their famous compatriot Arvo Pärt, who celebrates his 90th birthday this year - they were even honored with a Grammy in 2014 for their recording of Pärt's "Adam's Lament". They are now returning to the Elbphilharmonie with this very work, accompanied by the Hamburg-based Ensemble Resonanz.
