Estonian Philharmonic Chamber Choir: Arvo Pärt at 90
Details
Destined to be one of the great choral events of the decade, the world-renowned Estonian Philharmonic Chamber Choir (EPCC), led by esteemed founder and conductor Tõnu Kaljuste, returns to Toronto for a tribute to Arvo Pärt’s 90th birthday. A favourite of Toronto audiences, the EPCC has captivated listeners under Soundstreams’ auspices since 2000, with concerts that regularly sell out. Don’t miss this rare opportunity to experience their luminous sound in the acoustic splendor of Yorkminster Park Baptist Church. (Yonge & St. Clair)
