An important starting point in the work of both composers has been the word - a word that can be the initial impulse of the work, but still not be heard in the work. Yet, these works share a strong commonality and spirituality with their original texts. Both Pärt's and Tormis's music have been the presented in the Nargenfestival, but they have rarely sounded together in the same program. Hans Christian Aavik, the winner of one of the world's most prestigious and important Carl Nielsen international violinist competitions, will perform at the concerts.

Tõnu Kaljuste, artistic director of Nargenfestival.
