Schott Music Welcomes Estonian Composer Elis Hallik

Jul. 21, 2024

The works of Estonian composer Elis Hallik will now be published by Schott Music. Born in 1986, Hallik has made a name for herself in Europe with her individual style and will bring a new color to the Schott catalogue. Hallik focuses in her compositions on the conscious perception of the present moment, exploring silence and noise in their various facets and micro-events in sounds and musical processes which present the opportunity to reflect on the existence surrounding us and its patterns.

Frequently recurring themes include nature, the environment, climate change and archetypal forms of life. In her search for different structures and harmonies, Hallik attempts to make cyclical breathing and inner peace perceptible.

At the end of 2023, the Kairos label released a retrospective of Hallik's works on the portrait album Born in Waves with recordings by Ensemble Musikfabrik, the Tallinn Chamber Orchestra and others. Of Hallik's orchestral work, The Firehearted, an exploration of Ludwig van Beethoven's sound workd, Bachtrack calls it: "Witty and disturbing, as if you were looking at Beethoven through a magnifying glass – here Hallik displays her virtuoso orchestral work in its most dazzling form."


Ensemble Synaesthesis's album, Born in Waves, features the music of Elis Hallik
