Concert: In the Embrace of September Music: tenor Germán Gholami and soprano Lilian Sauvola
2026-09-11 19:00 - 20:30 | Pärnu Eliisabeti kirik, Nikolai 22, Pärnu, Estonia
IN THE EMBRACE OF SEPTEMBER MUSIC
Opera hits, timeless melodies and beloved Estonian songs
As the autumn days grow darker, it is the perfect time to let music warm you and carry you away. This autumn, an extraordinary and heart-warming concert tour, “In the Embrace of September Music”, will travel across Estonia. It is a special meeting of cultures, generations and different musical styles. An exciting ensemble will take the stage, bringing audiences the brightest hits from the world’s opera stages, timeless international melodies that have won the hearts of millions, and, naturally, beloved Estonian songs. It is an evening where the grandeur of classical music meets the freedom of crossover music and a wealth of subtle nuance.
A hundred-percent commitment and a unique line-up on stage:

Germán Gholami (tenor) – Our own “Estonian Spaniard”, whom local audiences know and love thanks to Teatri Vanemuine’s large-scale productions (“Hüljatud”, “Ooperifantoom”, “Nunnad hoos”). Today Germán is pursuing a distinguished solo career around the world—from the USA to South Korea—and tours extensively across Europe as a member of a popular tenor ensemble. Although his musician parents and other family members live in Madrid, while his Estonian wife, children and he himself live in Tallinn, Germán considers himself, at heart, specifically a South Estonian, because his journey to Estonia began there. The nuance in his voice and his sincere desire to give his heart to the audience on stage make every performance an experience.
Lilian Sauvola (soprano) – A brilliant 15-year-old Estonian young talent and a rising star of the opera world, who is continuing her studies in the youth department of the prestigious Sibelius Academy in Helsinki. Her powerful vocal range, stage courage and maturity have already earned her several distinctions, including the title “Tallinna talent 2024” and victory in the worldwide “Annetekoda” competition. The wider public fell in love with Lilian’s talent when she was a finalist on the television show “Laul vs. Tants 2026”, where the powerful and sensitive duet she and Germán performed from the musical “Ooperifantoom” captivated thousands of viewers. Now you can experience this magic live!
Guest performer: Ali-Reza Gholami (trumpet, Spain) – Germán Gholami’s father adds a unique international dimension and an intriguing jazz colour to the concert. Ali-Reza is a respected Spanish musician, conductor and music teacher whose distinguished career of more than half a century includes, among other things, studies under the legendary Miles Davis. The father and son’s shared music-making creates a rare, warm and intergenerational dialogue on stage that touches every listener.
Elina Vassiljeva (concertmaster) – The concertmaster, whose piano playing makes up a very substantial part of the entire programme. She is deeply inspired by the interaction of music and words, and her experience of Toomas Kaldaru’s opera-class masterclasses enables her to make the entire ensemble shine on stage as a unified whole.

Why come to the concert?
This concert tour was born from a desire to bring beauty, hope and light to people. An exceptionally intimate and warm atmosphere awaits you. Come and let music embrace you beneath the church vaults this autumn, and take home an unforgettable emotion that will warm your soul for a long time to come.
See you at the concert!
