Arvo Pärt 90

Arvo Pärt, one of the most popular composers of our time, will celebrate his 90th birthday in autumn 2025, and the House of Music will commemorate the occasion with two very special programmes: On 9 October, the artists of the Era Nova Chamber Orchestra, under the direction of conductors Péter Kemény and Gergely Gulyás, will lead the audience through the stages of the composer's oeuvre, which will be rounded off by a live animation by Estonian graphic artist Joonas Sildre; and on 16 October, the Discantus Choral Ensemble will present a choral theatre performance of Prophecies and Gospel, based on Arvo Pärt's vocal works.
