Arvo Pärt: Time, Text and Tintinnabuli

In October 2020 we hosted our first ever Digital Dash Café
EUROPEANS: ARVO PÄRT to celebrate Estonian composer Arvo Pärt’s
85th birthday, and were overwhelmed and delighted to be joined by
almost 300 screens from 25 countries.


Due to popular demand, we’ve turned the event into a podcast,
with some new, bonus content for our listeners. We were joined by
son of the composer and Chairman of the Arvo Pärt Centre, Michael
Pärt, violinist Andres Kaljuste and pianist Sophia Rahman
to listen to Pärt’s music and discuss his life and
work. Hosted by Josephine Burton, hear snippets of Spiegel im
Spiegel, Fratres, Für Alina and Estonian Lullaby played at the
Arvo Pärt Centre in Laulasmaa, Estonia, with brand new questions
posed to our guests.


With thanks to the following organisations and individuals for
supporting this event: Riin Eensalu and the Arvo Pärt
Centre; Kersti Kirs, Kadri-Liis Turton and the Estonian
Embassy in London (principal funders), Tammo
