Performer: Hans Christian Aavik

Paavo Järvi and the Estonian Festival Orchestra don’t skirt all the pitfalls of a single-composer program in an all-Pärt evening at Carnegie Hall.

Aspiring young conductors literally have to face the music in a second half showcasing their skills, while their teachers kick off proceedings with chamber music presentations of Estonian composers. 

Music by Bach, Schubert and Pärt is handled with flair and expertise by artists at the start of their careers in the Centre's beautiful new concert hall.

Estonian violinist Hans Christian Aavik wants to connect not only with the music but also with fellow musicians, to get inspired and explore the world behind every piece.
