Estonian duo Duo Ruut – Ann-Lisett Rebane and Katariina Kivi – present a model of creation based on a single instrument and two voices that is unique in the Baltic musical context. They compose and improvise on a single Estonian zither, which serves as both melodic and rhythmic basis: it sounds both traditional and as a percussive object, producing a distinctive, multi-layered timbre.

The duo’s aesthetic combines Estonian folk lyrics and melodic formulas with elements of contemporary electronics, minimalist textures and a clear dramatic logic. Although the musical language is austere, it is characterised by a highly concentrated expression – an earthy, hypnotic instrumental pulse and subtly combined vibrations of the voices, which create an intimate yet easily expandable sonic space in the concert space. The concert will combine Estonian folk with original creativity – a new-generation approach to tradition that highlights how minimal means can create a large-scale sonic world.
