 |
 A new Chamber Opera entitled “Minnie” composed by Tze Yeung Ho, will be performed at the Concert and Theatre Hall, Estonian Academy of Music and Theatre in Tallinn on October 20th, 2021 at 7pm.“Minnie” was written by Tze Yeung Ho as part of his Doctoral Concert, held in collaboration with Opera Veto, the Estonian Academy of Music and Theatre and AccordionFest Estonia. The opera is generously supported by Norsk kulturråd (Arts Council of Norway), Nordic Culture Point, Nordic Culture Fund, Estonian Cultural Endowment, Norwegian Society of Composers, Music Norway / The Foreign Ministry of Norway, and The Royal Norwegian Embassy in Tallinn. Performers include accordionists Kristel Laas (Estonia), Mikk Langeproon (Estonia), Momir Novakovic (Estonia), Sini Ström (Finland), Sonja Vertainen (Finland) and Theodore Parker (electric guitarist/improviser - Estonia) who will be accompanied by soloists from Norway, Finland and Estonia. The opera is based in Nanking, which was the capital of China between 1927 and 1937. Nanking was devastated by the Japanese Imperial Army during the Second World War and was the home to Ginling College, the school in which Wilhelmina “Minnie” Vautrin spent her time as a teacher for young girls. Minnie, a missionary and devout Christian, wrote many war memories in her diary which are depicted in the opera. Tze Yeung Ho (born 1992) is a Helsinki-based Norwegian-Canadian composer, festival manager, art researcher and language enthusiast of Cantonese descent. As a doctoral candidate at the Estonian Academy of Music and Theatre, his artistic research revolves around the topic of ‘Phonetic Features as a Compo-sitional Tool’, in which he sees this as an attempt to bond the process of music composition with his fascination for speech sounds. Covid-19 regulations will be in place at this event. For details email: info@eamt.ee |
