About this event
This is a symphony concert presenting the opening of Pärnu City Orchestra's 33rd season. The event centers on bassoonist Martin Kuuskmann and conductor Henri Christofer Aavik. The concert is part of the "Meistriteosed" series according to the supplementary listing. The program combines Estonian and international repertoire. It begins with Mihkel Lüdig's 1906 Avamäng-fantaasia nr 1 h-moll, followed by Lembit Beecher's 2025 work Land of the Northern Frog for solo bassoon and strings, identified as an Estonian premiere. Rasmus Puur's new work is identified as a world premiere, and the program concludes with Beethoven's Symphony No. 1 in C major, Op. 21 from 1800. No director, stage designer, costume designer, lighting designer, choreographer, scenic concept, or staging notes are provided. This is a concert presentation rather than a staged dramatic production. The listed solo instrument is bassoon, performed by Martin Kuuskmann, with Aavik conducting and Pärnu City Orchestra as the ensemble.
