In the Estonian Festival Orchestra, Pāvo Jervi has gathered his associates from various European groups and the best Estonian musicians. On July 14, the versatile, energetic conductor and composer Kristjans Jervi will perform together with the Baltic Sea Philharmonic Orchestra, chosen by himself: in the program Babylon Berlin Live artists will cross the boundaries of academic music and conjure up the atmosphere of the last years of the Weimar Republic. They will perform original compositions by Tom Tickwer, Johnny Klimek and Kristian Jervi, featured in the hit series Babel Berlin.
One of the most important initiatives of the Pärnu Music Festival is the work with young conductors and instrumentalists who participate in master classes led by Nemes, Pāvo and Kristjana Jervi and other experienced musicians. One of the teachers in the string instruments group will be Latvian violinist Eva Bindere, who has been playing in the Estonian Festival Orchestra for several years.

The young musicians will perform together with the excellent violinist Florian Donderer, concertmaster of the Estonian Festival Orchestra, the brilliant clarinetist Matthew Hunt and the talented cellist Theodor Sinks.
