The concert is part of the celebratory programme of the ERSO 100 festival!
The choice of Loodusmaja Taru as the concert venue has also inspired the programme: ERSO chamber musicians take the audience on a journey into the world of nature sounds. The evening opens with The Garden of Love, an oboe piece by Dutch composer JacobTV, based on William Blake’s dreamlike poem. In Luciano Berio’s playful and witty wind quintet Opus Number Zoo, the performers not only play music but also tell stories. John Eriksson’s marimba piece Träd, for four performers, is rooted in suggestive music built on repetition. Hypnotic sound patterns are created in Steve Reich’s minimalist marimba works Nagoya Marimbas and Vermont Counterpoint. Mason Bates’s Life of Birds, for four instruments, evokes the movements and calls of birds. In Mirjam Tally’s airy work The Birds for Company, the cello conjures a fantastical soundscape of primordial and cyber birds.
