Every year, one of the highlights of the Estonian Music Days is a concert performed by ERSO. In 2025, the centenary of the Estonian Composers Union is celebrated at the Estonian Music Days. To commemorate this important anniversary, five new orchestral pieces have been commissioned by the festival team, inspired by the musical example of an Estonian composer or informed by their works. It can take a very clear and recognisable or a more implicit form in the composition. Märt-Matis Lill, Timo Steiner, Mari Vihmand, Tatjana Kozlova-Johannes, and Rasmus Puur will be creating these new orchestral pieces for ERSO. The playlist also includes a selection of the best Estonian compositions for orchestras. Traditionally, LHV presents their new composition award to a composer at the concert, whose piece (that premiered during the previous year) has been unanimously recognised by the committee as a composition with a high artistic value and deserving of international renown.
