In October 2020 we hosted our first ever Digital Dash Café EUROPEANS: ARVO PÄRT to celebrate Estonian composer Arvo Pärt’s 85th birthday, and were overwhelmed and delighted to be joined by almost 300 screens from 25 countries.
Due to popular demand, we’ve turned the event into a podcast, with some new, bonus content for our listeners. We were joined by son of the composer and Chairman of the Arvo Pärt Centre, Michael Pärt, violinist Andres Kaljuste and pianist Sophia Rahman to listen to Pärt’s music and discuss his life and work. Hosted by Josephine Burton, hear snippets of Spiegel im Spiegel, Fratres, Für Alina and Estonian Lullaby played at the Arvo Pärt Centre in Laulasmaa, Estonia, with brand new questions posed to our guests.
With thanks to the following organisations and individuals for supporting this event: Riin Eensalu and the Arvo Pärt Centre; Kersti Kirs, Kadri-Liis Turton and the Estonian Embassy in London (principal funders), Tammo Sumera, Kaupo Kikkas, Rebecca Dawson, Universal Edition and Deirdre Bates at MDS / Schott Music.
