The concert’s title comes from the onomatopoeic Latin term referring to the tinkling and pealing of bells, a showcase of choral music by Estonian composer Arvo Part, who celebrated his 90th birthday in 2025. He is the best-known and most-performed of the so-called “mystic minimalist” composers, the others being John Tavener (England) and Henryk Gorecki (Poland).
