The 2025 Pärnu Music Festival pays tribute to Arvo Pärt on his 90th birthday and celebrates the festival’s 15th edition in Estonia’s Summer Capital.

­­­­“The Pärnu Music Festival has given us something which we could never have dreamt of when I was a child” says Paavo Järvi. “This is a unique place where music has a special energy and life-long friendships are forged. And in these tense times, returning and celebrating Estonian culture with friends from across the world, feels more important than ever.”
