Howard Arman | Conductor

A reunion with the "inventor" of the Leipzig Nachtgesänge, Howard Arman: on the occasion of the 90th birthday of Arvo Pärt, one of the world's most frequently performed contemporary composers, his music takes center stage. It is flanked by works by other composers who explore the same themes as Pärt. The range is wide - from Heinrich Isaak to the German composer Michael Ostrzyga (born 1975), who will contribute a world premiere in honor of Arvo Pärt.
