Arvo Pärt is one of the two most performed, living classical composers in the world. He is most well-known for his deeply spiritual choral works, which are shaped by his tintinnabuli style (Latin for “little bells”), that gives his works their characteristic clarity and stillness.  However, this is not the only side of his music. In this Encounters, we will explore Pärt’s secular and folk inspired pieces, including Fratres for violin and piano, and Es sang vor langen Jahren for voice, violin, and viola, alongside video clips of his early film compositions. We will also feature two works by composers inspired by Pärt’s work, including Omar Daniel’s Runo Songs, and Anna Pidgorna’s Pärtian Meditation on an Invented Folksong.
