Estonian Music Days 2026

DESCRIPTION

This year’s programme of the Estonian Music Days includes a new work by Liisa Hirsch, along with the Estonian premiere of Riho Esko Maimets’ concerto for piccolo and harp. The brilliant violinist Hans Christian Aavik will perform Erkki–Sven Tüür’s Violin Concerto No. 2, titled Angel’s Share. According to the composer, the title reflects the shedding of unnecessary elements as one matures. The evening concludes with Symphony No. 2 by Lepo Sumera, one of Estonia’s most significant symphonists. The concert will be conducted by Olari Elts.
