Collegium Novum

Thu 16. April, 7 pm Opera house Estonia, Chamber Hall, Estonia Av 4

OPENING CONCERT: COLLEGIUM NOVUM ZÜRICH (Switzerland)
Conductor MATTHIAS KUHN

Programme:
Märt Matis Lill - Mõttelained (premiere)
David Sontòn Caflisch - …mo-rbido…?, 9 miniatures to Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart for violin and piano (2006)
Rico Gubler - RIT, trio in six parts (2007)
Kristjan Kõrver - Quasi una litania (premiere)
Gérard Grisey - Talea (1986)


We’ve waited a long time to have the ensemble Collegium Novum Zürich perform at the festival. Our long-awaited guests have even added two new pieces from Estonian composers into their programs - Märt-Matis Lill’s  „Mõttelained"("Waves of thoughts") and Kristjan Kõrver´s „Quasi una litania”. The latter is the concert’s only solo piece and is all the more special because it is written for just one French horn... and yet, most orchestration textbooks inform the young composer of the technical difficulties of playing this instrument. Kõrver has accepted the challenge and overcome the difficulties. The opening concert places Estonian music’s freshest fruits in the context of contemporary European musical culture.
