Arvo Pärt is one of the most influential and widely performed living composers today, known for his highly original ‘tintinnabuli’ musical language inspired by the resonances of church bells.

Widely regarded as one of the world's leading interpreters of the Estonian composer's work, Paul Hillier returns to lead Chamber Choir Ireland in a celebration of Pärt's 90th year at Kilkenny Arts Festival 2025.

The programme spans five decades of Pärt's life, exploring the deep stillness and rich spirituality of his work, from Habitare fratres in unum—a serene hymn to unity and peace—to the restrained and deeply moving Morning Star.
