Today’s world, in its openness, vulnerability, and rapid and dramatic change, directs people towards questions of personal identity and values: people search for a deeper meaning of existence for themselves and try to find a constantly shaky balance between their inner convictions and the outside world.
Through musical works, the themes of war and peace, violence and hatred are also addressed, and causes and solutions are sought for them.
The staged concert will feature choral, vocal, and instrumental music from different styles and eras, creating a multilayered narrative through the event.
The musical numbers are from world classics, popular music hits from both Estonia and elsewhere, and national identity is emphasized throughout by the music of Veljo Tormis.
Raun Juurikas’ improvisational instrument, the corofon, is used in the performance by the chamber choir singers. Musical weight and color are added to the production-concert by Hiiu kandle player Liisa Koemets-Bastida and the characteristic soloists Katrin Mandel and Marek Jürgenson.
The visual artistic plot with realistic documentary footage is created by video artist Piibe Piirma.
Reality, dreaminess, past, and present are mixed together.
