In the heart of winter, ERSO will bring the spirit of summer back to Tallinn’s unique indoor venue, Teras Beach, for a concert unlike any other. Instead of heading south, audiences will travel to Haabersti, where the former Teras mechanical and metalworking factory (active from 1956 to 1991) has been transformed into a tropical oasis. With year-round temperatures of 26°C and a floor covered in soft, warm sand, it’s the perfect escape from Estonia’s cold season. Forget your winter coats and boots—this is a symphonic experience in summer clothes. The concert will be led by ERSO’s Principal Conductor, Olari Elts.

Adams's swelling orchestral work may be the loveliest apocalypse in musical history. - Alex Ross, New Yorker
