End-of-year Music Salon at Tallinn Town Hall

Maano Männi (violin)

Irina Zahharenkova (piano)

✨On the last days of the year, it´s customary to look back. The end of the year is also a time for dreaming about the next one.✨

The "End of Year Music Salon" led by versatile musician, violinist, concertmaster, and conductor Maano Männi drew a full house at Tallinn Town Hall last year. He has been performing such concerts to great acclaim also in Finland for several years now. Why not make this concert a tradition, where you can listen to beloved pieces in a cozy atmosphere during the last days of December? Maano Männi's ensemble partner this year is Irina Zahharenkova, one of our most highly regarded pianists on the international stage. She has won top prizes at several competitions, including the Bach Competition (Leipzig, 2006), the Casagrande Competition (Italy, 2006), and the Enescu Competition (Romania, 2005). Irina is a guest artist at major festivals and as soloist with various orchestras around the world.
