Joining ERSO on stage is <\/span><b>Candida Thompson <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u2013<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Artistic Director of the Amsterdam Sinfonietta and one of today\u2019s most brilliant leaders in string and chamber music.\r\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\r\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The evening opens with<\/span><b> Igor Stravinsky's<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> virtuosic and rhythmically vibrant <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Concerto in D<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> for string orchestra. In <\/span><b>Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart\u2019s<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> double concerto, the <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Sinfonia Concertante<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, Thompson performs as a soloist alongside the talented young Estonian violinist <\/span><b>Triinu Piirsalu<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. The second half of the concert features one of the most beloved works in classical music, Mozart\u2019s <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">S<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">ymphony No. 40. Audiences can look forward to the excitement of the orchestra performing without a conductor, as Candida Thompson takes on the dual role of soloist and concertmaster.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In February, Tallinn welcomes a true legend of early music, musicologist, and radical innovator of performance art, <\/span><b>Reinhard Goebel<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. He is the man who proved to the world that 300-year-old music can sound modern, spirited, and fresh. Goebel has curated an captivating program for ERSO centered on <\/span><b>Johann Sebastian Bach<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> and his four sons: <\/span><b>Wilhelm Friedemann<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, <\/span><b>Carl Philipp Emanuel<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, <\/span><b>Johann Christoph Friedrich<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, and <\/span><b>Johann Christian<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. Each of these \"young\" Bachs was a distinct and outstanding composer in his own right, whose works reveal the diverse facets of beauty within Baroque and pre-Classical music.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In April, Swiss conductor <\/span><b>Mario Venzago<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> returns to Tallinn. He is widely recognized for his sensitive interpretations of Romantic music and his ability to offer fresh insights into symphonic masterpieces. At the heart of the concert is Venzago's own realization of <\/span><b>Franz Schubert\u2019s<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> \"Unfinished\" Symphony, a version that has sparked both excitement and discussion in the musical world. The conductor created a complete vision of the work by incorporating Schubert's incidental music for the play <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Rosamunde<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. The program also features another monumental and colorful opus <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u2013 <\/span><b>B\u00e9la Bart\u00f3k\u2019s <\/b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Concerto for Orchestra<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, where every section of the orchestra takes a turn in a demanding soloist role.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The season culminates in May with a grand final concert conducted by ERSO's Chief Conductor <\/span><b>Olari Elts<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, featuring Joseph Haydn\u2019s magnificent oratorio <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Seasons<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\r\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Created in the spirit of the Enlightenment, this work is a hymn to the harmony between man and nature. It paints vivid musical landscapes and describes the joyful side of everyday life, from folk dances to seasonal festivities. In <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Seasons<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, the aging master Haydn saw a parallel between the cycle of nature and the human life cycle: spring symbolizes birth, summer represents youth, autumn signifies maturity, and winter depicts old age, followed by eternal life. The performance features a brilliant ensemble of soloists and the <\/span><b>Estonian Philharmonic Chamber Choir<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.<\/span>\r\n\r\nBUY TICKET","link":"https:\/\/erso.ee\/en\/series\/pure-gold\/","name":"Pure Gold","slug":"pure-gold","taxonomy":"sarjad","parent":0,"meta":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/erso.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/sarjad\/105","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/erso.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/sarjad"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/erso.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/taxonomies\/sarjad"}],"wp:post_type":[{"href":"https:\/\/erso.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/kontserdid?sarjad=105"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
