Ravel. Suite no 2 from the ballet “Daphnis and Chloé” 

The programme features Edvard Grieg’s lyrical Piano Concerto and the poetic ballet music of French composer Maurice Ravel. Acclaimed French conductor Adrien Perruchon leads the orchestra, with the brilliant Sten Heinoja taking the stage as piano soloist. 

Ravel’s evocative "The Boat on the Ocean" unfolds like a vivid Impressionist seascape, while Grieg’s much-loved concerto, a staple of the repertoire, is instantly recognizable from its dramatic opening. 

The second half of the evening is dedicated to Ravel’s ballet score—brimming with color, rhythm, and emotional depth. A pastoral story of love and innocence, it showcases Ravel’s gift for lush orchestration and musical storytelling, drawing listeners in with every note. 

In collaboration with the Estonian National Symphony Orchestra 

Duration: 1 hour 40 minutes, including intermission.
