The Ambassador congratulated the Tallinn City Government on the achievements made between the city and the Chinese capital city Beijing. \u201cThis year marks the 25th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Estonia. It is also the Year of People-to-People and Cultural Exchanges under the framework of China and Central and Eastern European Countries. The visit by the Acting Mayor Taavi Aas and Deputy Mayor Mihhail K\u00f5lvart, together with the world-class chamber choir and orchestra, is exactly at the right time\u201d, Mr Ambassador added.<\/p>\n The Deputy Mayor of the Tallinn City Government Mr Mihhail K\u00f5lvart considers the forthcoming tour as a token of remarkable appreciation from Chinese music-scene to both Estonian music and musicians since the initiation for this tour originated from the Chinese partner to introduce especially Arvo P\u00e4rt\u00b4s music to Chinese audiences by the EPCC and the TCO. \u201cTallinn Chamber Orchestra visited China in 2014 and the huge positive response they got then has been the basis of creating this new tour,\u201d said K\u00f5lvart. \u201cRisto Joost has only recently been awarded by the Estonian Music Council as the best ambassador of Estonian music in the World, it is only appropriate, that exactly this musical entity will be bringing Estonian music to wider audiences,\u201d added he.<\/p>\n The Principal Conductor of the Tallinn Chamber Orchestra and Artistic Director of the Tallinn Philharmonic Society Risto Joost pointed out that \u201cCantus in Memory of Benjamin Britten\u201d and \u201cFratres\u201d are most frequently played instrumental pieces in the world by P\u00e4rt and \u201cTe Deum\u201d and \u201cAdam’s Lament\u201d represent P\u00e4rt’s writing for choir and orchestra in the best possible way. \u201cThis repertoire has brought together the TCO & the EPCC on different stages all around the world since the creation of those masterpieces. It is still always a challenge even for us to perform Arvo P\u00e4rt’s music in a satisfying way since the demands for the performers are extremely high in every aspect of music,\u201d added Joost.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Additional information:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Sven Ratassepp The Estonian Philharmonic Chamber Choir (EPCC) and the Tallinn Chamber Orchestra (TCO) will give five concerts from 19th to 25th of November in Peoples Republic of China.
