New Piece for Floridante Ensemble Coming Soon! 🎶

[Elis Hallik @ElisHallik]

"Aegis" is the only piece I composed on Kihnu island, where the vast sky reminds me that even in our smallness, we can grasp something greater.

Thanks to Erki Pehk & Sinfonietta Rīga (Café Budapest, Oct 5, 2018).

Excited for Sept 27 with Kristiina Poska & ERSO!

'Aegis' draws inspiration from Athena’s shield, symbolizing protection and strength. Thrilled to share it on Sept 27 with Kristiina Poska and the Estonian National Symphony Orchestra. Delighted the concert highlights Sibelius, a great inspiration to me.

Here it is! My first work with Schott, "Aegis", was written over six years ago. I never imagined that the yellow-covered scores that inspired me — Hosokawa, Takemitsu, Ligeti, and more — would one day hold my music. ✨

BlowUp magazine's review on Kairos: '/.../The combinations of various instruments offer specific perspectives depending on the piece, and it is undeniable that the composer has a skillful hand in identifying the most expressive solutions to maintain the tension/.../'

[Elis Hallik @ElisHallik]

""Above" literally floats above us, like the clouds of changing chromatisms in Ligeti or the winter skies of Saariaho, leaving an undeniable beauty throughout its 7:52 minutes."

Thank you for the extensive review, Paco Yáñez! 🙏😊
