BACH, PÄRT & SACRED TRIAD - organ concert with Ines Maidre
Introduction
Arvo Pärt has said that the music of Johann Sebastian Bach played a pioneering role in his creative quest. He was particularly inspired by Bach's harmonic horizons and his approach to triads, with which he was able to create both soothing stability and intriguing dissonant contrasts. While Bach's use of triads is often combined with rhythmic motor movements and magnificent dynamic sound frescoes, Pärt approaches the same material from a minimalist starting point inspired by simplicity and silence. In his tintinnabuli style, which grew out of listening to individual sounds, we perceive such a strong focus and philosophical peace that it has also earned the name "sacred minimalism".
Ines Maidre is one of the most renowned Estonian organists, whose playing has been recognized for its fine sense of style and virtuoso playing technique. Having graduated from the Tallinn State Conservatory in the piano class of Bruno LukK and the organ class of Hugo Lepnurme, she continued her studies in Paris with Daniel Roth at the Ecole Niedermeyer in 1989-91. From 1994-1998 she studied harpsichord and baroque interpretation at the Grieg Academy in Bergen. She has participated in many international master classes. In 1991, Ines Maidre won the first prize at the Versaille International Organ Competition in France. She has participated in many domestic and foreign music festivals. She has performed concerts throughout Europe, the USA and South America. Many unique programs have been created in musical collaboration with various soloists and ensembles. Under the direction of conductors Martin Fischer-Dieskau, Leo Krämer, Neeme Järvi, etc., Maidre has performed solo in several organ concertos. Ines Maidre worked as a lecturer at the Tallinn State Conservatory from 1986 to 1992. Since 2000, she has been working as an organ lecturer at the Grieg Academy of the University of Bergen in Norway. She is actively involved as a harpsichordist-organist in the ensemble Musica Celines. Through frequent concerts and master classes, Maidre is also in close contact with the Estonian music scene. Since 2014, she has been the artistic director of the Pärnu Organ Festival. http://www.inesmaidre.com
