PLMF Music Trust

Last updated

PLMF Music Trust was inaugurated on 7 February 2003 to support the development of Estonian musicians by organizing master classes, opportunities to perform and by introducing them internationally. The founders of the trust decided to name it after the opera singer Pille Lill. [1]

In 2004 the PLMF introduced two series of classical chamber-music concerts, performed throughout Estonia: Master School [2] [3] and Music of the Soul [4] [5] which present Estonian top soloists in our largest towns and smallest villages. The Youth Master School series of concerts presents young talents of the Estonian Academy of Music and Theatre. [6] Since 2009 concerts are organized in other countries as well in cooperation with the partners from these countries.

Kuldar Sink was an Estonian composer and flautist. While his earlier compositions were often neoclassical in style and influenced by Claude Debussy and Olivier Messiaen, the mature part of his career was devoted to musical modernism and avant-garde music. Some of the techniques he employed in his compositions included serialism, tone clusters, unified field, and aleatoric music. In the latter part of his career he began incorporating traditions from the folk music of Central Asia into his compositions, and he ended his career with a period focused on choral works inspired by Gregorian chant and Estonian folk music.
