But good things come to those who wait, or as they say in French, \u201cC\u2019est la vie.\u201d That\u2019s life. In Estonia. And it\u2019s so worth it! Where else can the public enjoy a free concert of French composers on a warm, spring day in the heart of the city?<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: left;\">On 24 May, Tallinn\u2019s Town Hall will host a concert titled \u201cSpring Is in the Heart\u201d, featuring the works of classical French composers. This free concert is open to everyone to enjoy the work of <b>Claude Debussy<\/b>, <b>Gabriel Faur\u00e9<\/b>, and <span class=\"s1\"><b>Camille Saint-Sa\u00ebns<\/b>. Their music symbolises the arrival of the warmth of spring, the light of the long, summer days of Estonia, and the fresh sea air. But without the drama of that last sentence.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: left;\">Taking the stage will be <b>Pirjo Jonas<\/b> of Tartu\u2019s Vanemuine Theatre, a brilliant soprano soloist, and highly acclaimed pianist <b>Kirill Lissijenko<\/b>. The medieval surroundings of Tallinn\u2019s Town Hall Square offer the perfect venue for the melodies of music to warm your heart on what is likely to be a cold, spring day in Estonia.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: left;\">The concert will last for approximately one hour, so you definitely won\u2019t want to arrive fashionably later than 18:00. Afterwards, however, the entire Old Town is yours to explore. At this time of year, if you make your way to the seaside, the sun will set over the water to the northwest\u2014a rare treat for our visitors from the north.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: left;\">More information is available in Estonian <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/huvi.tallinn.ee\/sundmus\/kevad-sudames-pirjo-jonas-koloratuursopran-kirill-lissijenko-klaver\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s2\">here<\/span><\/a><\/span>.
