Taavi Peterson ''Vaiki kui võid'' - Urmas Alender 73

Taavi Peterson “Vaiki kui võid” – Urmas Alender 73 The concert tour “Vaiki kui võid,” dedicated to the 73rd anniversary of Urmas Alender’s birth, brings Urmas’s songs to Estonian churches before Christmas! The program features a carefully selected best-of from Urmas Alender’s work, including both the band Ruja’s repertoire and Urmas’s solo songs. The sacred atmosphere and unique acoustics of the churches create a rare setting for these songs. Taavi Peterson does not try to imitate Urmas Alender. He sings these songs in his own way, with his powerful, recognizable voice and acoustic guitar style. The result is more than simply performing Alender’s songs: familiar pieces take on new life while remaining true to their era and original spirit. A recent concert review said that Peterson weaves himself into Alender’s songs so naturally that they begin to sound as if they were his own. With some songs, one may even get the strange and moving feeling that Alender is present again for a moment. Taavi Peterson became known to a wider audience in the first season of “Eesti otsib Superstaari” in 2007, where he placed third. He has shared stages with Rein Rannap, Jaanus Nõgisto and other members of Ruja, and has been a fan of the men’s work for over 20 years. Come and give yourself an evening in the company of Urmas’s songs. Forget everyday life and surrender to the embrace of beautiful music and poetry.
