In the Concert Hall. Baltic Music Days. Tallinn New Music Ensemble – Resonances of Poetics
November 4 | 18:05

At the Baltic Music Days festival, the recently Ernst von Siemens Music Foundation Award–winning Tallinn New Music Ensemble performs a program that explores how poetic text and language itself can become objects of creative analysis. The studio host is Johanna Mängel.
Broadcast on Tuesday, November 4, at 19:05.

The program features five works that create poetic and musical resonance from different perspectives. Elo Masing’s The Dance above the Abyss is inspired by Ursula K. Le Guin’s philosophical reflections on dancing at the edge of life and danger.
Santa Bušs’s Blumenmuskel is based on five different English translations of Rainer Maria Rilke’s Sonnets to Orpheus.
Liisa Hõbepappel’s The Jangling Lightness of Solace draws inspiration from the poetry of Fernando Pessoa and from the sonic sensitivity of the flute.
Justina Repečkaitė’s world premiere Millefleur is a sonic tapestry – a pattern of tightly interwoven motifs and tonal hues reminiscent of medieval floral tapestries.
Liisa Hirsch’s Liiv’s “Code” examines the sonic nature of Juhan Liiv’s poetry, transforming the sound and rhythms of the Estonian language into a microtonal musical texture.

The Tallinn New Music Ensemble brings together musicians who boldly explore new sonic worlds, including microtonality and alternative tunings. With its flexible lineup, the ensemble has performed over a hundred works, including premieres by composers such as Georg Friedrich Haas, Helena Tulve, and Marc Sabat.

The ensemble’s conductor and artistic director is Arash Yazdani.
