Calendar of music events

Sound Plasma is a concert series and festival format dedicated to music with alternative intonation. Since 2017, it has taken place annually in Berlin and Tallinn as a network of satellite mini-festivals.

This year's concert presents a special combination where a contemporary music ensemble meets the traditional Estonian bagpipe. Due to its unique construction, the bagpipe offers a rare opportunity to explore and discover intonation from a new perspective. It's usually associated with traditional and diatonic music. However, we offer the opportunity to experience the microtonal sound world of this instrument through new compositions.

The joint concert by the Ensemble for New Music Tallinn and the bagpipe includes works by composers who each pursue very different approaches to microintervals and contribute their own musical language: Klaus Lang, Liisa Hirsch, William Dougherty, and Arash Yazdani.

William Dougherty - New work (2025)
