    WaterworksTour 2017 Baltic Sea Philharmonic Welcome We are delighted to welcome you to our ‘Waterworks’ tour. We thrive on making connections – with you our audiences, and with our fellow artists. And there is nothing that connects every one of us more than water. It is the essence of all life, and for us in the Baltic Sea Philharmonic, it is also the engine of our region, shaping our environment, and linking all the home countries of our players. On this tour we celebrate these elemental connections, and we also honour the American composer Philip Glass in his 80th birthday year. Such celebrations call for a truly special concert experience and we are excited to introduce with this tour a ground-breaking spectacle that fuses music, fashion, lighting design, visual art and choreography. We hope you will be thrilled by what you see, moved by what you hear, and inspired, like us, to seek out a deeper connection to different countries and cultures, and to the natural world that we all depend on.

  • Baltic Folk Tour 2017
    Baltic Folk Tour 2017 Baltic Sea Philharmonic Welcome We are delighted to welcome you to ‘Baltic Folk’, our second tour of 2017. On this tour of Sweden, Germany and Italy, we bring you music from Russia and Estonia. The beauty of great music, like the greatest legends, stories and folktales, lies in its universality. It speaks from the heart to all of us, no matter which country we are from. The masterpieces by Stravinsky and Rachmaninoff that you will hear tonight are Russian to the core, but everyone can relate to their themes and emotions – from the tale of love, magic and transformation that inspired Stravinsky’s The Firebird, to the melancholy and passionate drama of Rachmaninoff’s Second Piano Concerto. Similarly, you do not have to share the religious convictions of Arvo Pärt, the third composer in our ‘Baltic Folk’ programme, to be deeply affected by his emotionally profound music. As an orchestra of musicians from the ten nations of the Baltic Sea region, bringing people together is in our nature. And the universal music we play means we can connect more strongly with each other, and with you, our audience. The folk-influenced music in our concerts certainly speaks to us from the heart, and we hope our performance will touch you just as deeply. Our spark We fire up imaginations through inspirational performances Come with us on a musical adventure through a world of magic, passion and spirituality Our flow 06 We connect people to the environment, and to each other Explore our 2017 ‘Waterworks’ tour, which is inspired by water‘s
