OPENING
CONCERT. First week of Advent
3rd
of December 2017 at 20.00 in
Swedish St. Michael's church, Tallinn
"Vox
Angelorum"
PERFORMERS:
Arete Teemets
(soprano, Estonia), Ingmar
Simson-Valtin
(violin, Sweden), Ines
Maidre-Aarvik (organ,
Norway)
PROGRAM:
A concert with a poetic title "Vox Angelorum" is dedicated to
angels. Violin as the most angelic instrument and soprano as the most
divine human voice add unearthly feeling to the organ sounds. Through
these three modalities composers have tried to express the voice of
angels the most often. In these concerts our mediums are soprano
Arete Teemets, violinist Ingmar Simson-Valtin and organist Ines
Maidre-Aarvik. Besides canorous sounds the program includes some
unusual visions of angels. For example, the audience will hear the
tango-motifed "Milonga del Angel" by Astor Piazzolla, the
charmingly elegant "La Valse des Anges" by Frenchman Julien Bret
and an ornitological opus by composer Olivier Messiaen, where angels
are portrayed as birdlike tweeting creatures.
