EPCC and Arvo Pärt 90. New York, Carnegie Hall 2025
In 2025, the world will celebrate the 90th anniversary of composer Arvo Pärt. In honor of this milestone, the Estonian Philharmonic Chamber Choir will dedicate a significant portion of its season’s concerts to the works of this great Estonian cultural figure. We are deeply honored that the Estonian Philharmonic Chamber Choir has been invited to perform Arvo Pärt’s music at the world-renowned Carnegie Hall in New York in October 2025, where two concert evenings will take place:
ARVO PÄRT 90. CARNEGIE HALL (New York, USA)

ARVO PÄRT 90. CARNEGIE HALL (New York, USA)
October 24, 2025 – Zankel Hall, Carnegie Hall

International Collaboration with Concerto Copenhagen 2024-2026
The Estonian Philharmonic Chamber Choir is collaborating with Europe’s leading baroque orchestra, Concerto Copenhagen (CoCo), under the direction of Tõnu Kaljuste to present a program featuring works by Arvo Pärt and Georg Friedrich Händel at various venues across Europe. First concerts were held in Estonia on August 25, 2024, at Tartu’s St. Paul’s Church as part of the main program for European Capital of Culture Tartu 2024, and on September 2, 2024, at St. John’s Church in Tallinn, marking the opening of the Nargen Festival’s Pärt Days. In 2025, a tour in different European venues will follow.
The concert program “Pärt & Händel” creates a musical bridge between different eras, connecting the sound world of the 18th century with the most influential contemporary music. For a long time, the orchestra, together with the Estonian Philharmonic Chamber Choir, has planned to perform not only early music but also the works of Arvo Pärt, whose first tintinnabuli compositions were inspired by early music and premiered using historical instruments. As part of the collaboration, the same ensemble recorded Arvo Pärt’s works for the Berlin Classics label, bringing a new dimension to the recording practice of Pärt’s music through the use of a baroque orchestra.
The multi-year collaboration between the representative ensembles of Denmark and Estonia will strengthen cultural ties between the two countries, support the development of professional music culture, and diversify the music scene in both countries. Your support will help make this possible.
