Northern Lights by Tallinn Brass Academy
Experience a rare musical convergence where Nordic brilliance, cinematic grandeur, and contemporary Estonian composition unite. Under the artistic direction of Norwegian trumpet virtuoso Hans Petter Stangnes (Trondheim Philharmonic, Nordic Brass Ensemble), the acclaimed Tallinn Brass Academy presents masterworks by Nordic composers alongside film music classics specially arranged by Stangnes for brass ensemble. The evening's centerpiece is the world premiere of a trumpet concerto by Estonian composer Valeri Petrov, woven from Estonian folk themes. Written for two solo trumpets and brass ensemble, this dedicated work honors trumpeter Neeme Ots, who performs alongside Spanish virtuoso and Yamaha Artist José Cháfer Mompó. Petrov's composition seamlessly intertwines Estonian folk motifs with his personal musical language, a sensitive and refined voice that showcases his deep instrumental intuition. Special guest performance: competition winner Patricio Martín Fernández (Trumpet Talents 2025 Laureate).
