<p>Hypnotising landscapes, the ascetic core of folk music, the spirit and the subconscious – these are the building blocks of <em>Tõnu Kõrvits</em>’ poetic and charming music. The author, who celebrates his 50th birthday this year, has written a pensive variation on English Renaissance composer John Dowland’s exquisite musical motives. The programme also includes Pēteris Vasks’ dedication to the high power of love in his work <em>Vox amoris</em>, one of composer’s most beautiful works, bursting of longing, with solo by Triin Ruubel, the new first violin of Estonian National SO. After the intermission, we will hear Symphony no. 3 by Felix Mendelssohn, who allegedly first conceived the work in the ruins of a Scottish castle chapel that was safekeeping memories of Mary Stuart’s wedding under the ivy and grass.</p><h3>SOLOIST/-S</h3><p>Triin RUUBEL – violin</p><h3>CONDUCTOR</h3><p>Guntis Kuzma</p><h3>PROGRAM</h3><ul> <li>Tõnu KÕRVITS "Tears Fantasy"</li> <li>Pēteris VASKS "Vox amoris"</li> <li>Felix MENDELSSOHN Symphony no. 3 (Scottish)</li></ul>
