Ralph Vaughan Williams stepped onto the podium in Leeds on October 12, 1910, his 38th birthday, to conduct the premiere of “A Sea Symphony” with the Leeds Festival Chorus and Orchestra. Composing this piece was a journey of self-discovery for the then-young composer, culminating in this unique and epic choral symphony. This significant work by Vaughan Williams has never before been performed in Estonia.

It was a close call for American Gabriella Smith to pursue a career in marine biology rather than composition – it's no coincidence that her music references flora and fauna. Nature also inspires Dvořák in a serene Eighth : "At dawn, he wanders through the fields, moors, and forests surrounding the hamlet. It is in their intimacy that his musical ideas are born," noted his first biographer. This contrasts sharply with Shostakovich's First Concerto , completed in the midst of Stalinist terror, performed by the young Ukrainian Dmytro Udovychenko and his compatriot Oksana Lyniv for their National debuts.
