This time, the spectacular New Year's concert of Remy Martin and Eesti Kontsert will be conducted by the brilliant maestra Anu Tali, who will bring us fireworks from theatre and film music.

The symphonic part of the concert takes us on a journey through the best of film and opera music, juxtaposes the old and the new, and offers joyful Aha! -moment for everybody.

In addition to her wonderful voice, mezzo-soprano Tara Erraught is also known for her bright and charismatic humorous stage presence. Erraught is a singer with an amazingly beautiful timbre, rich vocal technique and acting talent.
