Lecture: Jan Brokken
Baltische Zielen
In his acclaimed book Baltic Souls, writer Jan Brokken paints vivid portraits of artists, musicians and thinkers from Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania — three nations with a complex past and a striking cultural resilience. In this lecture, Brokken shares moving life stories, with a special focus on composer Arvo Pärt. According to Brokken, Pärt’s spiritual music and radical simplicity embody the very soul of Baltic culture. A compelling lecture of literature, history and music, where silence, melancholy and resistance converge in a region that never stopped singing.
