It\u2019s a rare ensemble where the wisdom of founding members blends seamlessly with the energy of a new generation.\r\n\r\nUnder the expert baton of conductors Kaie Sauga and Erki Meister, the choir will lead us through a melodic journey ranging from the upbeat, rhythmic folk songs of Estonia to complex contemporary compositions. This is a night of rare acoustic beauty, proving that art knows no borders and that Athens remains the ultimate crossroads where European cultures meet and converse.\r\n\r\n<b>Programme:<\/b>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li>Regilaul Laulan mere maaks (<em>runic song<\/em>)<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Veljo Tormis Tsastuska<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Veljo Tormis Vadja Pulmalaulud sarjast \u201cUnustatud rahvad\u201d &#8211; Veljo Tormis, \u201c<em>Votic Wedding Songs<\/em>\u201d <em>from the cycle Forgotten Peoples<\/em><\/li>\r\n \t<li>M\u00f5rsja vihtlemine &#8211; <em>Bridal whisking ritual<\/em><\/li>\r\n \t<li>Pilkelaulmine &#8211; <em>Mocking song<\/em><\/li>\r\n \t<li>Arvo P\u00e4rt Eesti h\u00e4llilaul (saatega) &#8211; <em>Arvo P\u00e4rt, \u201cEstonian Lullaby\u201d<\/em> (with accompaniment)<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Arvo P\u00e4rt Suvine Valss (saatega) &#8211; <em>Arvo P\u00e4rt, \u201cSummer Waltz\u201d<\/em> (with accompaniment)<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Arvo P\u00e4rt Ukuaru Valss (saatega: karmoskad) &#8211; <em>Arvo P\u00e4rt, \u201cUkuaru Waltz\u201d<\/em> (with accompaniment: accordions)<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Rahvalaul Kaera Jaan (saatega: karmoskad, koori liikumine) &#8211; <em>Folk song \u201cKaera Jaan\u201d<\/em> (with accompaniment: accordions, choir movement)<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Peep Sarapik Mesipuu<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n&nbsp;","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"This is Athens City Festival, in collaboration with the Embassy of Estonia, invites you to a masterclass in vocal precision. with the world-renowned FLORA Chamber Choir.
