Day 11

Thank you to Joonas Neumann for sponsoring this day.

For Our friend, Ken

1+1+1+1=1” Nora Pärt, wife of Arvo Pärt

The composer Arvo Pärt and his wife Nora are dear friends of ours.  

Arvo‘s „Vater Unser“, brilliantly adapted by Andreas van Zoelen, is simultaneously a profound gem and one of the last compositions that we recorded together with Kenneth Coon.

Ken spent the better part of three decades investing his entire being into the music, gracing colleague and listener alike with his beautiful baritone tones.

Though he is no longer with us, we think of him often and fondly.

Thank you, Ken.
