An Evening on the Beach. Valter Ojakäär 100

This year, on March 10th, it was the 100th birthday of composer, saxophonist, jazz music promoter, and music publicist Valter Ojakäär (1923–2016). Ojakäär’s songs are so naturally ingrained in the Estonian collective memory that their author is often not even thought about. To commemorate this great musician on his 100th birthday, actors from Tallinn City Theatre and the VHK orchestra will present a concert titled “An Evening on the Beach. Valter Ojakäär 100” this late autumn, featuring a selection of Ojakäär’s works. Participants: Maria Luisk, Kristi Volmer, Meelis Vind or Marten Altrov, Jüri Leiten, Jaak Jürisson, Peedu Kass, Eno Kollom, and the Vanalinna Hariduskolleegium String Orchestra.

 

On November 20th and December 6th at Salme Cultural Center, on November 23rd at Vanemuise Concert Hall, on December 5th at Jõhvi Concert Hall, and on December 9th at Pärnu Concert Hall.
