We will show our respect and say thank you to the beloved composer Ester Mägi, who died at the age of 99.
The deeply national music of Ester Mägi is characterised by chamber music, balance and delicacy, a clear form, transparent sound, and an intimate style of expression. Chamber and choral music are central to her rich work. Her Symphony completed in 1968 and Bucolic (Bukoolika) from 1983 have earned a dignified place in Estonian symphonic music. Mägi’s chamber music has a firm and special place in the repertoire of both Estonian and foreign musicians.
The concert is produced by the Estonian National Symphony Orchestra
There will be 200 tickets on sale.
The audience will also have the opportunity to enjoy the concert on EPCC.TV and Klassikaraadio.
