The 2025 Pärnu Music Festival pays tribute to Arvo Pärt on his 90th birthday and celebrates the festival’s 15th edition in Estonia’s Summer Capital.
“I believe that Estonian culture is best represented through music which naturally expresses our national voice.
Our country may be small, but Arvo Pärt’s iconic music is loved worldwide.”
