Each symphony by Eduard Tubin has its own story to tell. The story behind the creation of Symphony No 8 which is the focus of this year’s opening concert is very special. Having fled from his home country in 1944, the composer earned condemnation from refugee communities after his visit to Estonia at the beginning of the 1960s. “I guess that the rage which was caused by numerous slanderous articles began to accumulate within me and was searching for a way out in the symphony’s finale, the tense repetitions of which are kind of like a hymn for myself. When a person gets older they tend to be more daring when it comes to showing their feelings, daring to laugh or to cry.”

“Here I sit and I really don’t know,
should I curse myself or fate.
Just do not say that this is good,
this is life… As you do not know,
cannot feel my fatherlandlessness.”

Both Eduard Tubin and Sergei Rachmaninoff, as well as Arvo Pärt after leaving Estonia in 1980, all experienced the sense of patriotism which was described by Karl Ristikivi in his use of a feeling of “fatherlandlessness”. All three composers have been in the public focus both as heroes and as undesirable persons, persona non grata, at different points in time. Joonas Hellermaa and Mihhail Gerts use the pre-concert conversation panel to describe the volatility of public opinion.

English

Eduard Tubina igal sümfoonial on rääkida oma lugu. Tänavuse festivali avakontserdi „Non grata“ keskmes oleva kaheksanda sümfoonia saamislugu on väga eriline. Pärast kodumaalt põgenemist 1944. aastal langes helilooja 1960. aastate alguses Eesti külastamise pärast pagulasringkondade hukkamõistu alla. „Ma oletan, et raev paljudest laimavatest kirjutistest kogunes minus ja otsis väljapääsu sümfoonia finaalis, mille pingelised helikordused kõlavad justkui hümnina iseendale. Kui inimene vananeb, siis julgeb ta ju näidata oma tundeid, julgeb naerda ja nutta.“

„Nõnda ma istun ja tõesti ei tea,
vanduda ennast või saatust.
Ärge vaid öelge, et nõnda on hea,
nõnda on elu … Sest teie ei tea,
ei tunne mu isamaatust.“

Karl Ristikivi kirjeldatud isamaatuse-tunnet kogesid nii Eduard Tubin, Sergei Rahmaninov kui ka Arvo Pärt pärast Eestist lahkumist 1980. aastal. Kõik kolm heliloojat on ühel eluhetkel olnud avalikkuses nii kangelase kui ka soovimatu isiku – persona non grata rollis. Selle üle, kui ajas muutuv on avalik arvamus, arutlevad Joonas Hellerma ja Mihhail Gerts kontserdieelses vestlusringis.
