The Romance series will end in May and the orchestra will be led again by Chief Conductor Olari Elts. The concert will feature an exceptional line-up of soloists, four young Estonian horn players Paula Ernesaks, Kairi Sosi, Eliise Tani and Kreete Jacob, all with prominent careers ahead of them in Estonia and abroad. Paula Ernesaks joined the Berliner Philharmoniker as a member of its horn section in the spring of 2022.

Robert Schumann’s Concertpiece for Four Horns and Orchestra, featuring horn solos, will be performed. The second half of the concert will feature a performance of Johannes Brahms’s Symphony No. 4, which is the longest of his symphonies and a good summary of his entire symphonic output. The evening will begin with the premiere of Rasmus Puur’s Symphony No.
