On the second night of the festival, we will walk the paths of baroque music with Ensemble Air. The program focuses on three unique composers, two of whom were also virtuoso violinists – Falconieri and Matteis from Italy and Westhoff from Germany. They traveled Europe in the 17th and 18th centuries, seeking musical inspiration and pleasing audiences with their art. The charismatic advocate of this exciting project is the violinist Daniel Hope, who is already known to the Estonian audience from last year’s festival.

In June 2015, the Odessa Classics music festival was held in Odessa, Ukraine for the first time. Its founder, pianist Alexey Botvinov’s mission was to create a festival that would help Ukraine move closer to Europe and resist Russian-initiated military aggression. Odessa Classics has been associated with Estonia since its first days, through our musicians, festival guests and supporters. In order not to break the tradition of the festival, Odessa Classics found a temporary home in Estonia and is called Odessa Classics Tallinn.
