Jon Hopkins, Kristjan Järvi and Nordic Pulse bring an exclusive Solstice Ritual to Estonia

On December 19, just before the light starts to lengthen with the arrival of the winter Solstice, the trailblazing ensemble Nordic Pulse will present Nordic Pulse RITUAL at Alexela Concert Hall, a rendering of RITUAL that fittingly gets its world premiere in Tallinn. British musician, producer and composer Jon Hopkins will be on piano, as conductor-producer Kristjan Järvi guides his ensemble through a process of real-time exploration. 
 
Kristjan Järvi says: “It’s very significant that we premiere Nordic Pulse RITUAL as a vibration from the north, where we actually bring light to the emerging Spring. This is an invocation not only of light but of life itself. We’re going toward life, actually.”
 
Jon Hopkins adds: “RITUAL doesn’t quite fit into the current set of parameters for how music is consumed. When someone amazing and unusual like Kristjan comes along and sees it as a starting point, it’s just a case of saying yes and figuring out everything else later. It seems we are aligned on many things, which is necessary for me to fully trust someone with re-imagining something so personal.”  
 
For Järvi, it is crucial that Nordic Pulse RITUAL is happening in Tallinn. Estonia, he admits, is a small country that so few people know much about, so cut off from expectations and perceptions of European mainstream culture. He sees this as an opportunity to offer something entirely unexpected. Nordic Pulse RITUAL is a transformative offering. “I want to open a portal here and incite people’s imagination,” he explains, “to say, ‘Wow, I can be like a child, with the skill set of an adult?’”
 
Nordic Pulse RITUAL is a unique world premiere with limited tickets available.
