The (mono)play 'The Bells of St Paul's' created by poet Indrek Hirv is a story of becoming an artist and about the possibility of national art without pathos and politics. It is a story of Heino Eller's memories of the early childhood – the flooded meadows at the Emajõgi river, father's strictness, feeling of injustice, free water flow as an intimate experience; his love for a foreigner and an older motherly woman expressed through the nostalgic Nordic music; and an insight into the perfection in art – his contact with an entirely new logic of the most modern music of the time in Zürich.

In cooperation with Tallinn Philharmonic Society
