With TRIBUT, Eroica Berlin and Karine Gilanyan present a belated birthday concert for two giants of contemporary music, which will also premiere two works composed in their honor.

TRIBUT is a homage, a homage, an expression of thanks: already planned before the pandemic and postponed several times, this concert can be considered a belated birthday concert for Sofia Gubaidulina (90 years!) and Arvo Pärt (85!), whose music is so fresh and sounds as up-to-date as ever, and touches and inspires with their very different characteristics and clear personality with a timeless and human statement.

Together with the Armenian pianist Karine Gilanyan, Eroica Berlin pays tribute to these two giants in a special way: Two composers of the younger generation were commissioned to write today’s response compositions, which are now being premiered. Olga Rayeva and Sven Daigger present their personal tonal languages ​​in forms and instrumentations that invite you to draw parallels, discover contrasts and enjoy the most diverse facets of contemporary music.
