ERSO’s Honorary Artistic Director for Life, Neeme Järvi, has curated a delightful program of Estonian classics. Eduard Tubin’s Suite on Estonian Dances will showcase simple and joyful Estonian melodies, featuring Triin Ruubel as soloist. To mark the orchestra’s centennial, the humorous maestro has chosen Joseph Haydn’s spirited Symphony No. 100 Military, where festive trumpet signals and marching rhythms ring out alongside beautiful melodies and dances. The second half of the concert features Villem Kapp’s majestic Symphony No. 2, excerpts of which have also been performed at the Estonian Song Festivals. This concert also serves as the opening for the ERSO Anniversary Festival.
