Thu 4 February at 19:00, Pärnu Concert Hall Fri 5 February at 19:00, Vanemuine Concert Hall Sat 6 February at 19:00, Estonia Concert Hall Moon Atlas. Joel Remmel Trio Joel Remmel (piano) Heikko Remmel (bass) Ramuel Tafenau (percussion) Joel Remmel Trio has been active for 15 years, and their shared journey was crowned with the title of Jazz Album of the Year at the 2026 Estonian Music Awards. At this concert, the trio will take listeners beneath the starry sky and perform “Moon Atlas”, a complete work Tõnu Kõrvits composed for them. I believe everyone has their own connection and feeling towards the Moon – whether simply looking up at the sky or examining its details. This work, however, is a musical mapping of a journey to the Moon. Tõnu is a great fan of lunar missions and has put nuances into the music that an ordinary dreamer might not even notice. The work brings together both actually mapped places and dreamlike, imagined journeys. Jazz musicians usually write and arrange their own music, so it is quite rare for such a renowned composer to create an entire work for them. – Joel Remmel The clarity of traditional jazz intertwines with the crispness of a Nordic soundscape, creating a distinctive, cohesive sound picture that does not rush but invites listeners to listen and be present. Concert without an interval, lasting approximately 1 hour 30 minutes.

Thu, 4 February at 19 Pärnu Concert Hall Fri, 5 February at 19 Vanemuine Concert Hall Sat, 6 February at 19 Estonia Concert Hall Atlas of the Moon. Joel Remmel Trio Joel Remmel (piano) Heikko Remmel (bass) Ramuel Tafenau (percussion) The Joel Remmel Trio has been performing together for 15 years, a milestone recently marked by winning the Jazz Album of the Year title at the 2026 Estonian Music Awards. In this concert series, the trio takes the audience beneath the starry sky to perform "Kuu atlas" (Atlas of the Moon), a complete work written specifically for them by Tõnu Kõrvits. I believe everyone has a personal connection and feeling when it comes to the Moon, whether simply gazing into the night sky or observing its details. This piece, however, is a musical mapping of a lunar journey. Tõnu is a passionate follower of moon missions and has woven nuances into the score that an ordinary dreamer might completely overlook. The composition blends actual, charted locations with dreamlike, imaginary travels. Since jazz musicians typically compose and arrange their own repertoire, it is quite rare for such an acclaimed composer to create an entire work for an ensemble like ours. - Joel Remmel The resulting music intertwines the clarity of traditional jazz with the crispness of Nordic soundscapes, shaping a distinctive and cohesive sonic experience. It is music that refuses to rush, capturing your full attention and inviting you to be present in the moment. Duration: appr. 1 h 30 min (no intermission)
