Saint Mary's Cathedral will host the birthday concert
ESTONIAN composer Arvo Pärt is due to celebrate his 90th birthday this autumn, with a free concert in Limerick.
He will celebrate his birthday on September 11, and the event will be marked by a number of concerts and other important events across Europe and around the world.
To celebrate this event, and the first anniversary of the formation of the honorary consulate to Estonia in Limerick, Saint Mary’s Cathedral will host a special free lunchtime concert on Tuesday, September 23 at 1.15pm.
The concert will feature selected music by Pärt, in the presence of Her Excellency, the Estonian ambassador to Ireland.

Speaking of the event, the Estonian Ambassador to Ireland, Ms Kairi Künka, spoke about the event, saying, “The Embassy of the Republic of Estonia in Dublin, the Honorary Consul of Estonia in Limerick and the Arvo Pärt Centre in Estonia invite music lovers and media to celebrate the 90th anniversary of world-renowned composer Maestro Arvo Pärt. The concert will feature selected works from Pärt’s deeply spiritual and contemplative repertoire, performed by local musicians. This event offers a unique opportunity to experience the timelessness and quiet beauty of Arvo Pärt’s music and his influence on contemporary classical music”.
Ms Julie Long, Honorary Consul to Estonia for the Mid West of Ireland, also commented, and said, “The lunchtime concerts in Saint Mary’s Cathedral are a Limerick favourite and it is wonderful to be in a position to connect the Arvo Pärt Centre in Estonia with Limerick to celebrate the 90th birthday of this globally celebrated composer”.
Following the concert, the audience will be invited to enjoy some Estonian refreshments in the Cathedral.
