In program Bach, Britten, Kancheli, Xenakis, Maskats, Pärt

The opening concert of this year’s Glasperlenspiel brings together real stars of the classical music world – one of the most prominent European chamber orchestras Kremerata Baltica with its artistic director and world famous violinist Gidon Kremer, and a brilliant Russian violinist Tatiana Grindenko. The event is ever more unique owing to the fact that the stage again hosts the legendary Kremer-Grindenko-Pärt ensemble. In 1977, the violinists premiered Pärt’s Tabula rasa in Tallinn at a concert that by today has become a legend. The current concert presents Pärt’s music by his work Fratres, written in the same year of 1977.
