____________
The Ensemble for New Music Tallinn (“ENMT”) is one of the leading contemporary music ensembles in the Baltic and Nordic region - will present an impressive programme the RESONANCES OF POETICS to the audience of the MUSIC AUTUMN festival.

In this programme, Ensemble for New Music Tallinn explores how poetic text and language itself become objects of creative analysis. The works investigate how the rhythm of language, the diversity of translations, and their semantic contrasts, as well as the overtones of Estonian formants, transform into musical material, where language becomes music and poetry turns into compositional substance. In this way, the original field of meaning is expanded or even transformed, granting it new vitality and dimensions of experience.

This concert is organised in collaboration with the “Baltic Music Days” festival and its organisers, the Baltic Contemporary Music Network.

___________________________
This year, the Festival MUSIC AUTUM („Muzikos ruduo“) is joining forces with BALTIC MUSIC DAYS, a festival held annually in a different Baltic country.

This year's festival theme, MEANING TRANSFORMATIONS, invites us to look at intermediality and explore various forms of meaning transformation, observe the process of change itself, and discover how a whole new field of meanings opens up depending on the medium.

The theme was not chosen at random: in 2025, we are celebrating the 150th anniversary of M. K. Čiurlionis' birth. In his work, music and painting intertwined synesthetically, creating one of the most striking examples of how different artistic languages can extend and transform each other.
