The end of the year is always a busy and somewhat crazy time, but for me, the Christmas concert tour is that special moment when time seems to stand still. This is the fifth consecutive year we have come together like this, and it has become a true tradition for me! It feels like meeting old friends – all of you – sitting down together, enjoying wonderful music and creating that special, warm Christmas feeling.
As this is the fifth anniversary year of the tour, I will be presenting an entirely new programme. Some pieces will truly challenge both my hands and the piano, while others will gently touch the soul. The programme includes Liszt – Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2, Bach-Busoni – Chaconne, Chopin – Fantasy in F minor, Ravel – Jeux d’eau, and more. Of course, some of our favourite Christmas carols will also be part of the evening, bringing warmth to our hearts.
As always, this will be more than just a traditional classical concert. Between the pieces, I will share fascinating and amusing stories from the history of music – a little like piano stand-up comedy, if you will! We will explore and discover music together.
Please arrive in good time, bring along the people dearest to you – your partners, friends, children and grandparents – and leave your everyday worries at the door.
A three-course dinner at Restaurant MEKK will follow the concert. The dinner will be prepared by MEKK’s Head Chef, Rene Uusmees. Dinner is scheduled to begin at approximately 8pm
