note: Beyond Silence

On 11 September 2025, Estonian composer Arvo Pärt will turn 90. To celebrate, Flagey, together with several choirs and ensembles, will pay tribute to the oeuvre of Estonia's most famous composer. For four days, his compositions will reverberate in the studios of the iconic building, using his musical and spiritual inspirations as a common thread. The Flemish Radio Choir and the Kebyar Saxophone Quartet juxtapose Pärt's Miserere with an intense plea for human connection by his contemporary Giya Kancheli (1935-2019).
