Taking place on 8 May in the Hopneri Maja, or Hopner House, in the Old Town, the performance is designed as a quiet, focused alternative to the noise and pace of everyday urban life.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: left;\">The programme is performed by the vocal ensemble Rejoice, which specialises in a cappella choral music. The concert features works that bridge ancient and modern traditions, combining early Eastern Christian sacred music with contemporary compositions. The repertoire includes pieces by notable composers such as <b>Arvo P\u00e4rt<\/b>, <b>Cyrillus Kreek<\/b>, and <b>Igor Stravinsky<\/b>, illustrating the evolution of sacred choral sound across centuries.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: left;\">A defining feature of the concert is its purely vocal nature. There are no instruments or electronic enhancements, only unaccompanied voices. This stripped-back approach places emphasis on tone, harmony, and the acoustic qualities of the venue, allowing listeners to experience music in its most direct and intimate form. The organisers highlight the unique atmosphere created by this combination of human voice and space, encouraging deep listening and reflection.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: left;\">The event is also notable because it presents the ensemble\u2019s competition programme before it is performed internationally. Following the Tallinn concert, the group is set to travel to a choral competition in Poland, making this performance a rare opportunity for local audiences to hear the programme in advance.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\" style=\"text-align: left;\">More information about the ensemble is available <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/profile.php?id=100085594620210\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s1\">here<\/span><\/a><\/span>, and tickets are available <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/fienta.com\/o\/13779\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s1\">here<\/span><\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; \u201cHelisev vaikus\u201d, which means \u201cResonating Silence\u201d, is a one-evening musical event in Tallinn that offers an immersive experience centred &hellip; <span class=\"read-more-excerpt\">Read more<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":157654,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[47],"tags":[15757,16109,16922,20094,21559,27328,27329],"class_list":["post-157653","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-culture","tag-hopneri-maja","tag-arvo-part-2","tag-choir","tag-choral-music","tag-events-in-tallinn","tag-rejoice","tag-a-capella-music"],"acf":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/balticguide.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/157653","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/balticguide.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/balticguide.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/balticguide.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/10"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/balticguide.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=157653"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/balticguide.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/157653\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":157659,"href":"https:\/\/balticguide.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/157653\/revisions\/157659"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/balticguide.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/157654"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/balticguide.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=157653"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/balticguide.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=157653"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/balticguide.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=157653"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
