In February, the Estonian National Symphony Orchestra (ERSO) will welcome British conductor Jonathan Bloxham for a performance of Ludwig van Beethoven’s Symphony No. 3, Eroica—a revolutionary work that marked a turning point in orchestral music, echoing the ideals of the French Revolution. ERSO’s principal clarinetist Soo-Young Lee will join acclaimed German violist Nils Mönkemeyer to perform Max Bruch’s Concerto for Clarinet, Viola and Orchestra. The concert opens with the Faust Overture by 19th-century German composer Emilie Mayer.

Beethoven’s “Eroica”

Estonia Concert Hall

ERSO musicians will take the stage at MUBA with violinist Simone Lamsma before heading on tour to Southern Europe. The concert features a unique nonet by German composer Louis Spohr, bringing together strings and winds—violin, viola, cello, double bass, flute, oboe, clarinet, French horn, and bassoon. The work, the first of its kind, was commissioned by Viennese industrialist and devoted music patron Johann von Tost, who had once played violin in Haydn’s court orchestra and deeply admired Spohr’s talent.
