Estonian Sinfonietta is launching its 10th season with a new concert series titled, “Immortal. Beethoven.”
March 26, 2027, marks the 200th anniversary of Ludwig van Beethoven’s passing. Of course, his music is performed daily in concert halls around the world, regardless of major anniversaries. In fact, this Estonian Sinfonietta series grew organically out of conversations with pianists we simply wanted to make music with. It is a complete coincidence that these concerts fall during the season marking the 200-year anniversary of the composer's death, but this milestone ultimately inspired the name of the series.
Taking the stage as soloists are four of Estonia’s most distinct pianists: Jaan Ots, Age Juurikas, Johan Randvere, and Sten Heinoja. They will be joined by Berlin-based pianist Haiou Zhang, an internationally acclaimed interpreter of Beethoven, who played works by the composer for Estonian audiences a few years ago in his solo recital, "Farewell." For the grand finale, Hans Christian Aavik will perform Beethoven’s Violin Concerto.
Jaan Ots will serve as the conductor for the series, and will also be the featured soloist for the opening concert.
