His home is classical music, but interestingly enough he establishes a connection to the electronic ambient music of our time, because ambient as a genre is actually also taken from classical music. Of course, the expressiveness is much greater and more intense with an orchestra, but the reduction to the essentials actually establishes a connection to ambient. Pärt's music lives from the pauses between the notes and therefore begins to breathe, vibrate and thus establishes a connection to the higher self. Contemplation or spiritual messages are always present in his music, putting the soul into rest mode. On September 11, 2015, Arvo Pärt turned 80 years old (today 2025: 89 Years!!!). In this context, Robert Wilson has come up with one of the most exciting stage events of 2015, bringing together the musical works "Adam's Lament", "Miserere", and "Tabula Rasa". Robert Wilson is a master of light, and so he performed "Adam's Passion" in an old former Soviet submarine factory in its world premiere May 15 in Talin. With actors and extras, over 100 people performed including Grammy Award winner and conductor Tönu Kaljuste. Be sure to listen and watch!
