The opening concert of the baroque music festival, entitled ‘Jerusalem, Holy City’, will take place on 28 January at 7.00 pm at the Estonia Concert Hall. A musical homage to the holy city, it will feature eponymous works by seven composers.
The opening concert will feature a mixed choir with the Latvian and Estonian State Symphony Orchestra conducted by Andres Mustonen.
Israel-born violinist Pavel Vernikov is one of Europe’s greatest, and plays an instrument the likes of which are rarely heard in Estonia – a Guarnieri ‘Baron Knopf’ dating from 1743.
The festival’s guests also include the baroque ensemble La Fenice (France), the prestigious vocal group Die Singphoniker (Germany), Natalia Gutman (cello, Russia), Joel Frederiksen (bass and lute, Germany) and many more. The final chord will be struck by the gala concert ‘Bach and Sons’, featuring players from the Tallinn Philharmonic and many soloists from Estonia and abroad. The artistic director of the festival is Andres Mustonen.
The festival will take place in conjunction with the Estonian State Symphony Orchestra, the Estonian Philharmonic Chamber Choir and the Tallinn Philharmonic:
