Creative Chair Arvo Pärt
In this 2020/21 season we welcome Arvo Pärt as Creative Chair with the Tonhalle-Orchester Zürich. Delve right into Pärts meditative, ascetic soundscape and discover how much his tintinnabuli-style (lat. for little bell) differs from his dodecaphonic and collage works of the early years. As he himself puts it: There is already a lot of noise in this world. His music purposefully counteracts this in its very own spirituality and dedication to the power of silence in music.
