This concert will not contain an intermission.

In April, Estonia will host the International Artist Managers’ Association (IAMA) Conference, a major event in the classical music world. To mark the occasion, Chief Conductor Olari Elts has curated a concert programme spotlighting Estonian music and talent. Rising star Hans Christian Aavik will perform Erkki-Sven Tüür’s Violin Concerto No. 2, titled Angel’s Share. According to the composer, the title symbolizes the shedding of all that is unnecessary as one grows and matures. The concert will conclude with Symphony No. 2 by Lepo Sumera—one of Estonia’s most significant symphonic voices.
