21st December at 19.00 in Von Krahl Theatre
During Christmas, a rare and fragile glass world will open in Tallinn – for the first time the glass instruments made by Estonian glass artists and the students of glass art from the Estonian Academy of Arts will reach the stage.
“World of Glass” introduces the audience more than 30 fantasy instruments made of glass and the musicians will give two unique concerts with these instruments. Fairy-tale rhythm patterns and meditative melodies will be created on two nights by the most interesting representatives of Norwegian improvisational music: trumpeter Arve Henriksen and percussion virtuoso Terje Isungset.
