The Arvo Pärt Weekend is dedicated to this world-renowned composer on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the Republic of Estonia. The festival is held in 26-28 January in the famous Flagey Concert Hall in Brussels.

Arvo Pärt describes his Te Deum as “a quest for something evanescent, something long lost or not yet found, a quest for something believed to be non-existent, but so real that it exists not only within us but beyond our being as well.” It is one of those musical works that one must experience once in his lifetime in a grand concert hall, just like the newest composition Requiems by the Belgian composer and cellist Jean-Paul Dessy.

 

 

The concert is produced by the Flagey Concert Hall
