Pärt’s hit piece Tabula Rasa sits alongside two early works, which show him groping towards his own sound-world. The First Symphony explores strict polyphonic devices, while the Third harks back to medieval music. The Berliner Messe shows Pärt’s mature style in its full glory, the string sound haloing the voices in an echo of Bach’s St. Matthew Passion.

Total Immersion day passes are now sold out.
