The Estonian National Symphony Orchestra (ERSO) is one of Estonia’s flagship ensembles and its oldest symphonic unit. In December 2026, ERSO will celebrate its 100th anniversary. This evening’s program features a new work by Liisa Hirsch, alongside the Estonian premiere of Riho Esko Maimets’ double concerto for piccolo and harp, featuring soloists Heili Rosin-Leivategija and Sara d’Amico. The brilliant violinist Hans Christian Aavik will perform Violin Concerto No. 2, subtitled Angel’s Share, by Erkki-Sven Tüür, one of Estonia’s most internationally renowned composers. According to the composer, the title refers to the natural evaporation that occurs during the whiskey-making process, metaphorically representing everything unnecessary that a person sheds during the process of maturing. The concert concludes with the powerful Symphony No. 2 (1984) by Lepo Sumera, one of Estonia’s most significant symphonists.
The winner of the „LHV New Composition Award Autasu“ 2026 will be announced at the concert.
The concert is held in collaboration with the Estonian National Symphony Orchestra.
