The Estonian conductor Paavo Järvi, currently Chief Conductor of the Zurich Tonhalle Orchestra, fulfilled a dream in 2011 when he founded both his own orchestra and festival in the city of Pärnu on the Baltic Sea. The Estonian Festival Orchestra brings together the best musicians from his homeland as well as leading instrumentalists from all over the world. Invitations to perform in the most important music venues testify to the specialness of the orchestra he has created. The orchestra celebrates its debut Grafenegg performance with Beethoven's Piano Concerto No. 3 and soloist Rudolf Buchbinder. After the interval, the melodic richness of Tchaikovsky's First Symphony offers the musicians ample opportunity to show off their extraordinary skills.
