Arvo Pärt & G. F. Händel

The great composer Arvo Pärt turns 90 on 11 September – reason enough to celebrate him! His imposing, rich-sounding and fabulously well-written music builds bridges between the music of the Baroque and our time. It no longer tries to go somewhere, like the music of the 19th century, but abandons itself completely to the here and now. It waits, listening out for single sounds and opens our ears to new musical and spiritual experiences.
