SUMMARY:Chamber Music with Members of the Los Angeles Philharmonic\, feat. music by Arvo Pärt
DESCRIPTION:Works by Strauss\, Pärt & Glass will be featured Chamber Music with Members of the Los Angeles PhilharmonicExperience an intimate evening of reflection and raw emotion through 20th century chamber works. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTickets and more information\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nProgram: \n\n\n\nArvo Pärt – Fratres for violin and pianoPhilip Glass – String Quartet No. 2\, “Company”Benjamin Picard – Concentric \n\n\n\nIntermission \n\n\n\nStrauss\, arr. Leopold – Metamorphosen for string septet \n\n\n\nAbout this Performance\,  \n\n\n\nAll living things are in a constant state of metamorphosis—growing\, evolving\, and responding to the world around them. Strauss’ Metamorphosen\, inspired by Goethe’s writings on plant and animal metamorphosis\, is a poignant\, musical eulogy to an annihilated pillar of culture with an uncertain hope for its renewal. \n\n\n\nBenjamin Picard\, a Los Angeles Philharmonic Librarian since 2020\, likens his new piece about expansion and contraction to “ripples on the surface of the water…[that] build in momentum and expressive intensity.” Strings spiral out—first quietly and introspectively\, then with more energy and bravura! \n\n\n\nMembers of the LA Phil open the concert with one of Arvo Pärt’s works of “creative silence” and Philip Glass’ existential and passionate quartet based on a Samuel Beckett novel.  \n\n\n\nCome early and enjoy a complimentary glass of wine before the performance\, starting at 6:30pm.

SUMMARY:Happy Restoration of Estonian Independence Day! Head taasiseseisvumispäeva!
DESCRIPTION:The restoration of Estonia’s independence was a pivotal moment in the country’s history\, marking the end of over five decades of Soviet occupation. On August 20\, 1991\, the Supreme Council of the Republic of Estonia declared the illegal Soviet occupation and annexation of the country terminated\, and proclaimed the full restoration of the independence of Estonia. This declaration was made at 23:02 local time and was followed by a series of events that led to the international recognition of Estonia’s independence. The day is now celebrated annually as the Restoration of Independence Day (Taasiseseisvumispäev)\, a day of national pride and remembrance of the country’s freedom. Estonia’s Independence Day is Feb 24th.  \n\n\n\nPlease scroll down for the EANC statement in celebration of this important anniversary. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEANC Greeting on the 34th Anniversary of the Restoration of the Republic of Estonia \n\n\n\nDear fellow Estonians in the United States\, friends and supporters\,  \n\n\n\nOn August 20\, 1991\, Estonia took back its freedom and restored its independence\, and so today we celebrate with pride and happiness. Estonia is free!  Breathe it in!   \n\n\n\nMany of us still remember the years before\, when our families were torn apart\, and those in Estonia lived under fear and constraint. We remember the bold actions of those who used every opportunity to work toward Estonia’s freedom. We remember how it felt to finally see our dream of a free Estonia come true. This freedom must never be taken for granted. \n\n\n\nWhether celebrating individually or in community\, we can pause to reflect on this recent history\, which took place within many of our lifetimes or those of our parents and grandparents. And surely\, we can be proud of Estonia’s accomplishments of the last 34 years\, as we share and promote our culture here.  The anniversary of restored independence is also a good opportunity to consider how to respond outside of Estonia – specifically as Estonian Americans – to today’s international challenges.   \n\n\n\nIn that spirit\, we call on our elected officials and public servants to use the huge leverage held by the U.S. in this critical moment to shape a just and lasting peace for Ukraine\, to be a force for enduring global security\, including for Estonia and our Baltic neighbors.  Purposeful action and resolve will be required\, as well as a clear memory and accurate account of the recent past.   \n\n\n\nThis is also an appropriate week to remember other key moments in recent history. On August 23\, 1939\, the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact was signed between Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union. It included a secret protocol that divided Eastern Europe into German and Soviet spheres of influence\, and ultimately put the sovereign nations of Estonia\, Latvia\, Lithuania forcibly and illegally under Soviet rule. While presented as a non-aggression pact\, this backroom deal effectively paved the way for World War II. To mark the 50th anniversary of this appalling occasion\, on August 23\, 1989\, two million Balts joined hands to form a human chain spanning more than 400 miles across the three Baltic countries\, a peaceful yet powerful demonstration with one demand: freedom for Estonia\, Latvia and Lithuania. Seen by the world\, the human chain became a critical milestone now called the Baltic Way — forever a touchpoint in the Baltics’ determined march to freedom from the Soviet Union. \n\n\n\nWe wish for Ukraine that which Estonia today enjoys – freedom\, security\, and the power to determine its own future. We hope that when Ukrainians celebrate their independence on August 24\, 2026\, Ukraine will be at peace and free of Russian occupation. \n\n\n\nThe Estonian American National Council calls on all Baltic Americans and our supporters to make their voices heard this week\, to remind  the policy makers and elected officials of our own recent history and experience with Russia\, as well as of the plight of everyday Ukrainians\, who are laying down their lives to defend their land\, nation\, and people against Russian aggression Whether it is by participating in an event\, or by directly contacting representatives or the press\, our collective and loud voices are needed now.   \n\n\n\nLong live freedom! Long live the Republic of Estonia!

SUMMARY:Estonia's XXVIII Song and XXI Dance Celebration “Iseoma” ("Kinship")
DESCRIPTION:Rewatch the Estonian Song and Dance Festival performances here \n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMe loome ise oma elu ja õnne.Me räägime ise oma keelt.Me laulame ise oma häälega omi laule.Me pühitseme iseoma laulupidu.Et kasvada oma rahvaga.Et armastada iseoma Eestit. \n\n\n\nTere tulemast XXVIII laulupeole “Iseoma”!Laulupeo kunstiline juht Heli Jürgenson \n\n\n\nMeie kandi inimesed –sõtsed\, kõugud\, sugulasedotsustasid kokku saada\,kokku tuua mugulased.\n\n\n\nMeie juures tuleb tänavu suur pidu\, millest ei tohi ilmaski ilma jääda. Armastust ja musta leiba peab jaguma igaühele\, kes meie trallamil tallab. Nii et pakkige pambud ja pasunad\, kammid ja kostid\, lootused ja luhtaminekud ning karake kõige täiega Keskpõrandale kokku. \n\n\n\nNii on sõnastanud tantsupeo dramaturg Laura Võigemast kutses XXI tantsupeole \n\n\n\nTantsupidu räägib sel korral meie iseoma lugu\, räägib inimeseks olemisest\, räägib eestlastest ja sellest\, mis on meile oma ja oluline. Jah\, meid on küll vähe\, meie maa on väike\, aga teisalt oleme kõik erinevad\, nii nagu on erinevad ka meie tavad\, kombed\, tantsud\, laulud\, pillilood ja murdekeel. Ja erinevad on ka kirevad isiksused meie kõigi suguvõsades. Me peame kokku hoidma. Igaüht oma iseärasustes hindama ja austama\, kõigist hoolima\, neid armastama\, ning\, kui vaja – neile andestama. Vaid nõnda püsime elus\, püsime oma vaba riigina ja ainult nõnda saavad elada meie kultuur\, tavad ja kombed.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe XXVIII Song and XXI Dance Celebration “Iseoma” (“Kinship”)\n\n\n\nThe treasured festival will take place from July 3rd to 6th\, 2025.
