Tallinn, Estonia – Thursday, 14 May 2026
The Estonia Concert Hall (Estonia puiestee 4) will host its final Symphonic Lunch of the season, offering a vibrant program that celebrates the spirited music of Johannes Brahms and Zoltán Kodály. The one‑hour concert will open at 1:00 PM and serves as a condensed preview of the Friday night repertoire.
Program
- Johannes Brahms
- Hungarian Dances Nos. 1, 3, 4, 6, 10
- Symphony No. 3 in F major, Op. 90: Movements I & II
- Zoltán Kodály
- Suite from Háry János (comic opera)
The program blends Brahms’ rousing dance pieces and lyrical symphonic excerpts with Kodály’s colorful suite, offering listeners a dynamic range of tempos and moods.
Highlights
- Guest Artist – The concert features a special appearance by a world‑renowned cimbalom virtuoso, who will present the suite from Kodály’s Háry János. The opera tells of villagers gathered in a Hungarian tavern to hear the fantastical tales of the old soldier Háry János, and the cimbalom’s bright, percussive voice adds an authentic folk flavour to the performance.
- Conductor – Erso’s resident maestro Olari Elts will lead the orchestra, guiding the ensemble through Brahms’ passionate dances and the rhythmic brilliance of Kodály’s suite.
- Format – The concert is presented without intermission and lasts a full hour, allowing audiences to experience the music in an uninterrupted, concentrated setting.
