Mari Vihmand (b. 1967). “Floreo” for symphony orchestra (1996)
Lepo Sumera (1950–2000). Symphony No 6 (2000)
Along with new works by Ülo Krigul, Mirjam Tally, and Maria Kõrvits, the symphonic concert of the Estonian Music Days will also feature significant pieces by Mari Vihmand and Lepo Sumera composed at the turn of the 21st century.
In 1996, Floreo by Mari Vihmand won the first prize in the Under 30 catergory at the International Rostrum of Composers.
Lepo Sumera’s Symphony No. 6, the composer’s last finished piece, was premiered at a concert celebrating Sumera’s 50th birthday. The concert, conducted by Arvo Volmer, the principal conductor of the ENSO at the time, took place in May 2000, only a month prior to Sumera’s untimely death. Composer Eino Tamberg reminisced about Sumera: “To me, Lepo Sumera was the ideal composer – his extraordinary musical talent and professionalism were complemented with an extremely wide interest in culture and a wise, psychologist-like ability to understand the people around him. The breadth of his emotional scale was truly Shakespearean – from deep tenderness and a fine sense of humour to an uncompromising vigour.”
Anu Tali, the principal conductor of the Nordic Symphony Orchestra and the Sarasota Symphony Orchestra (USA), is conducting.
The first recipient of the new composition award Au-tasu, founded by LHV Bank, will be announced at the concert. LHV Bank values new works by Estonian composers, especially the contemporary works that attract a wider following and deserve to be introduced to international audiences. The award Au-tasu will be given to a composer whose remarkable piece of music was first performed during the previous calendar year, i.e. 2015.
