“Artist’s Life”: MUBA Symphony Orchestra concert

MUBA Symphony Orchestra concert.

Programme:

Ludwig van Beethoven – Overture “Coriolanus”, Op. 62

Franz Schubert – Symphony No. 7 (8) in B minor “Unfinished”, D. 759

Johann Strauss II – “Artist’s Life”, Op. 316

Johann Strauss II created his most famous waltzes in the second half of the 19th century in Vienna, a time when art and music gave people a chance to step away from the worries of everyday life and find beauty and joy even in difficult times. As today.

More than a century and a half later we live in a very different world, but the main questions of an artist’s life have remained the same. Work must compete for attention, be visible and reach the audience. Yet art is still born from something very human: the need to express what words cannot. It takes time, concentration, courage and commitment.

The concert “Artist’s Life” brings together three very different works that open different sides of Viennese composers: Beethoven’s drama, Schubert’s romantic depth and Strauss’s waltz-like brilliance.

Beethoven’s heroic overture “Coriolanus” is followed by one of Schubert’s most famous works, the “Unfinished Symphony”. The concert ends with Johann Strauss II’s waltz “Artist’s Life”, in which thoughtful and melancholic moments alternate with the lightness and joy of life typical of the Viennese waltz.

The MUBA Symphony Orchestra is conducted by Valle-Rasmus Roots.

The concert has no interval.

Time and place: 3 December 2026, 18:30, Tallinn Music and Ballet School MUBA, Pärnu maantee 59, Tallinn.
