Description
Rostislav Krimer sees his East-West Chamber Orchestra as a forum for international communication and understanding. With Georgian pianist Giorgi Gigashvili, audience favourite at the 2024 Beethovenfest, he brings stirring music from the former Soviet Union to the Pantheon Theatre. The prominent Estonian composer Erkki-Sven Tüür has written a work commissioned for the concert, dedicated to everything refugees have to leave behind.
