Vienna Tunes

Concert performance VIENNA TUNES on February 21, 2025 at 7 PM at Nooruse Maja. A resonant journey to the musical city of Vienna with humorous stories, songs, and surprises.
Versatile musicians and actors KATRIN LEHISMETS and PEETER KALJUMÄE, who have previously gained popularity with the concert performance “Sound of Salzburg”, now invite you to a resonant journey to the imperial music capital Vienna. Singing, playing the piano, and storytelling, they open the treasure trove of music created in Vienna and frame it with a Viennese song. They explore what the relationships between Mozart and Salieri were really like and whether Salieri truly murdered Mozart.
What advice did the deaf Beethoven give Rossini and what were Rossini's sins in old age. You will learn how the monarchs lived and who was Austria’s first official. How did life in this imperial capital, which united creative people from so many nations, reflect in music.
The activities and works of two powerful ladies, Empress Sissi and Alma Mahler, will be considered to determine if they have been overrated or underrated in history.
They will seek clarity on how Imre Kalman, caught between the gears of Jewish politics and having lived in America for a time before returning to Vienna at the end of his life, remained thoroughly Hungarian. It will be determined if the reworking and re-orchestration of the great Strauss' works by a young Erich Wolfgang Korngold was indeed a prerequisite for a brilliant career in Hollywood. And all this is illustrated by the compositions of great figures such as Mozart, Salieri, Beethoven, Schubert, Alma Mahler, Korngold, Webern, Kalman, Strauss, and others.

Come and enjoy the style and elegance of bygone times!
