About the event

Arvo Pärt 90 | Prague Spring 2025
CZ 🇨🇿 Snad žádný soudobý skladatel se tolik nezapsal do povědomí široké veřejnosti jako Arvo Pärt (* 1935). Estonský tvůrce, mezi jehož velké fanoušky patří například slavná Björk, Peter Gabriel, rocker Nick Cave, Rufus Wainwright nebo členové německé skupiny Einstürzende Neubauten, píše téměř výlučně duchovní hudbu v osobitém tonálním slohu zvaném tintinnabuli (volně přeloženo jako zvonečky). „Hledal jsem zvukový ostrůvek – místo ve svém nitru, v němž by se mohl odehrávat, řekněme, dialog s Bohem,“ říká o unikátním světě tintinnabuli sám Arvo Pärt. V roce 2025 oslaví skladatel 90. narozeniny a Pražské jaro při této příležitosti pozvalo k interpretaci jeho hudby soubor nejpovolanější – Estonský filharmonický komorní sbor (EPCC), který za nahrávky právě Pärtovy hudby získal dvě Ceny Grammy a v roce 2020 ho časopis BBC Music Magazine zařadil mezi deset nejlepších pěveckých sborů světa.

EN 🇬🇧 Arguably no contemporary composer has become as familiar to the general public as Arvo Pärt (*1935). The Estonian artist, whose prominent devotees include Björk, Peter Gabriel, rock musician Nick Cave, Rufus Wainwright and members of the German band Einstürzende Neubauten, writes sacred music almost exclusively, and this in his distinctive tonal compositional style, a technique he calls tintinnabuli (loosely translated as “the ringing of bells”). “I was in search of a little island of sound. In search of a place in my innermost being where – shall we say – a dialogue with God might take place,”states Arvo Pärt, conveying the unique world of his tintinnabuli. In 2025 the composer celebrates his 90th birthday and, to mark this event, the Prague Spring has invited an ensemble best qualified to bring his music to the concert platform: the holder of two Grammy awards for recordings of his music – the Estonian Philharmonic Chamber Choir (EPCC), which was hailed in 2020 by BBC Music Magazine as one of the top ten choral ensembles in the world.
