Tubinfest Opens Today!

I hear, from someone who ought to know, that today marks the opening of the Festival Eduard Tubin and His Time in Tallinn, Estonia. "This year's festival is dedicated to the composer's 100th birthday. For this special occasion the festival is grander than ever. Whilst bringing together the crème de la crème in Europe's symphonic orchestras and directors, it resembles more to a symphonic parade than a festival."

Paavo is leading the Estonian National Symphony Orchestra in performances of Erkki-Sven Tüür's Aditus, Tubin's Symphony No. 5, Lepo Sumera's Musica profana and Sibelius's Symphony No. 5 at the Estonia Concert Hall tonight at 19:00.

This concert will also air over Estonian Classical Radio and Radio 3 Latvia today from 12:00 to 14:00 pm GMT.
