The repertoire is ambitious and wide-ranging, from classical works to new music, with a special focus on Polish music. Estonian Philharmonic Chamber Choir and Elblag Chamber Orchestra will jointly perform a selection of Polish compositions, together with soprano and composer Agata Zubel who has risen to the status of one of the leading European new music composers and performers by winning the 2013 International Rostrum of Composers with her opera Not I where she herself sang the main role (performed in Tallinn in 2015).
