Mihkel and his friends from the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra would like to invite you to Estonia! Or to be precise, to Music Room, to take you on a musical journey celebrating the 100th birthday of his native state. String quartet and solo violin music will be played, including the first in Estonian music from both these genres, Arvo Pärt’s famous Fratres, and from recent years, Mihkel’s own Expression Suite for String Quartet that will get its UK premiere. Mihkel will talk you through the evening, providing some historic details and a few anecdotes about the composers themselves.
