costume design for concert-performance Birth of Light by Astra Irene Susi
Estonian Music Days, Tallinn Music Week
2026
The concert performance Birth of Light features world premieres by composers Maria Rostovtseva, Astra Irene Susi, and Liis Jürgens. Birth of Light is not born from a desire for quick harmony, but from the belief that true artistic truth lies in the friction between elements.
The programme is brought to the audience by the Tallinn Chamber Orchestra and conductor Erle Kont-Vilson. Soloists are Vambola Krigul (percussion), Joonas Mikk (vocals, Estonian National Boys’ Choir), and actor Richard Ester (Estonian Drama Theatre). The artistic vision is brought to life by director Astra Irene Susi.
