Example programs

  • Tähe-Lee has an extensive standard repertoire spanning the entire piano literature, from Baroque to contemporary music. In recent years, she has focused particularly on Nordic composers. Her debut CD featured the complete piano works of Arvo Pärt, and her second CD, set to be released in summer 2026, will showcase Finnish piano music, including works by Rautavaara, Sibelius, and Lindberg.

    In the 2024-2025 season she achieved great success in the series “Building Bridges by Sir András Schiff” with a Nordic program featuring Pärt, Sibelius, Rautavaara, and Grieg.

    In celebration of Arvo Pärt’s 90th birthday in the fall of 2025, she presented a highly acclaimed program pairing the music of Pärt and Bach at several venues, reflecting her special connection to Bach’s music as a student of Sir András Schiff.

    She is also a dedicated advocate of Ester Mägi’s music and has a strong commitment to promoting works by female composers, including Ester Mägi, Clara Schumann, and Mel Bonis. Chosen personally by Mägi, she has performed all of her works for piano and orchestra. In July 2026, Tähe-Lee will perform Mel Bonis’s music at Musikdorf Ernen.

    In the current season (2025-2026), Tähe-Lee presents a project of three concert programs: “Mostly Mozart”, “Mostly Mendelssohn”, and “Mostly Bach”, the latter featuring three Bach keyboard concertos performed with the Tallinn Chamber Orchestra in September 2026.

    Tähe-Lee has also been active in contemporary music, premiering works and collaborating closely with composers such as Arvo Pärt, Toivo Tulev, Marianna Liik, and Jörg Widmann. Her performance of Widmann’s Toccata went viral on social media, garnering millions of views.

    In addition, she is an accomplished chamber musician, collaborating with distinguished ensembles and artists, including the Tallinn String Quartet, Alkyona Quartet, Kremerata Lettonica, violinists Hans Christian Aavik, Angela Chan, and Gidon Kremer, as well as cellists Willard Carter and Marcel Johannes Kits.

Nordic and Bach (Sibelius, Grieg, Bach)

Jean Sibelius:

Impromptus, Op. 5

Johann Sebastian Bach:

Any of the Partitas

Edvard Grieg:

Piano Sonata in E minor, Op. 7

Total duration: ~60 minutes

  • Will be performed in Season 2026–2027:
    Brussels Flagey
    (among other places)

    Program Note

    This recital brings together Sibelius, Bach, and Grieg in a focused dramaturgy shaped by contrasts of structure, intimacy, and Romantic expansion, reflecting pianist Tähe-Lee Liiv’s artistic identity between the Bach tradition and Nordic musical culture.

    The program opens with the Impromptus, Op. 5 by Jean Sibelius, where concentrated Romantic gestures unfold in an atmosphere of inward lyricism and Nordic atmosphere. These miniatures reveal Sibelius’s ability to condense expressive worlds into brief, finely shaped musical utterances.

    This is followed by a Partita by Johann Sebastian Bach, a composer whose music holds a special interpretative significance for Liiv through her studies with Sir András Schiff. Bach’s Partitas embody structural clarity, contrapuntal transparency, and rhetorical precision, forming a stabilizing axis within the program’s emotional arc.

    The recital concludes with the Piano Sonata in E minor, Op. 7 by Edvard Grieg, where Romantic breadth meets Nordic identity in a large-scale dramatic trajectory. This repertoire also resonates with Liiv’s ongoing artistic engagement with Finnish piano music, reflected in her second solo album on the Da Vinci Classics label, featuring works by Sibelius, Rautavaara, and Lindberg, further expanding her exploration of the Nordic piano landscape.

Pärt and Bach

Für Alina (1976) ~2 minutes
Variations for the Healing of Arinushka (1977) ~4 minutes

    In Festivals dedicated to Pärt 90

    Flagey, Brussels
    Berlin
    Chemnitz
    (among others)

    Program Note

    Arvo Pärt and Johann Sebastian Bach form a natural and compelling pairing. Both composers share a deep connection to religion, yet their music is equally capable of playfulness, clarity, and dance-like vitality. Pärt himself openly acknowledged Bach’s influence, most famously by quoting the C major Prelude from The Well-Tempered Clavier, Book I in his work Credo.

    A central unifying theme of this program is the partita. Bach’s Partita No. 1 stands alongside Pärt’s early Partita, an atonal work strongly influenced by Baroque forms and gestures. Though composed centuries apart, both works reveal a shared architectural clarity and a fascination with dance-derived movements.

    Dance is another key thread running through the program. Bach’s Partita and English Suite are rooted in Baroque dance forms, while Pärt’s early Four Easy Dances offer a charming, imaginative response from the 20th century. These dances also form a subtle link to Pärt’s later tintinnabuli-style piano works—Für Alina, Für Anna Maria, and Variations for the Healing of Arinushka. All are inspired by children and serve as intimate, distilled examples of Pärt’s mature musical language.

    This dialogue across centuries is further embodied by the performer. Tähe-Lee Liiv’s debut CD, released on ERP, presents the complete piano works of Arvo Pärt and has received a highly praised review from Gramophone magazine. Her close engagement with Bach’s music is shaped by a special artistic lineage as a student of Sir András Schiff.

    Together, these works create a dialogue across time, revealing shared spiritual depth, formal elegance, and a joyful sense of play.

    Flexibility / Adaptation Notes

    It is possible to switch or add works by Bach or Pärt. For example, another English Suite or Partita by Bach, or other piano works by Arvo Pärt, may be performed, as Tähe-Lee has played all of Pärt’s piano works.

Ophélie
Viviane
Phœbé
Salomé
Omphale

Ester Mägi (1922–2021):

Lapland Yoiks (1987) ~15 minutes

Total duration: ~49 minutes

  • Program Note

    This program celebrates three remarkable female composers whose music deserves wider recognition. Through lyricism, myth, and cultural memory, these works reveal a powerful lineage of musical imagination, often overlooked in standard concert repertoire.

    Clara Schumann’s Variations are a deeply expressive conversation with Robert Schumann’s musical world. More than a tribute, the work demonstrates Clara’s distinctive harmonic voice, formal mastery, and emotional depth, combining lyricism and virtuosic brilliance.

    Mel Bonis, a contemporary and classmate of Claude Debussy, was a pioneering figure in French late-Romantic music. Femmes de légende presents seven portraits of legendary women, from the fragile innocence of Ophélie to the dramatic intensity of Salomé. Rich in color, atmosphere, and harmonic imagination, these pieces reveal Bonis’s unique artistic voice.

    Ester Mägi, Estonia’s “First Lady of Music,” drew inspiration from ancient song traditions in Lapland Yoiks, creating work that evoke vast landscapes, ritual chant, and elemental forces. Her music combines folk roots with modern expression. Mägi personally selected the 17-year-old Tähe-Lee as a soloist for her Variations for Piano, Clarinet, and Orchestra, which she has performed multiple times.

    Flexibility / Adaptation Notes

    This program allows for adaptability in repertoire selection and pairing, offering several programming possibilities and flexibility in duration and thematic connections, while maintaining artistic coherence and preserving the focus on three remarkable female composers whose music remains underrepresented in standard concert repertoire.

    Clara & Robert Schumann: Clara Schumann’s Variations on a Theme by Robert Schumann, Op. 20 can be paired with works by Robert Schumann, such as the Fantaisie or Humoreske, to highlight the dialogue between their musical voices.
    Mel Bonis & Claude Debussy: Mel Bonis’s Femmes de légende can be performed in its entirety or as selected movements, allowing flexibility in concert length or programming focus. These pieces can also be paired with Debussy’s Images, emphasizing historical and stylistic connections between Bonis and her contemporaries in French late-Romantic music. The idea to highlight Bonis’s music alongside Debussy originated at the Musikdorf Ernen Festival, where Tähe-Lee will perform a recital in July 2026 featuring both composers.
    Ester Mägi & Arvo Pärt: Ester Mägi’s Lapland Yoiks can be paired with works by Arvo Pärt, highlighting her influence as Pärt’s theory teacher. Tähe-Lee’s debut ERP CD of Pärt’s complete piano works received high praise in Gramophone.

    Program is partly in the repertoire of Tähe-Lee’s Recital in Musikdorf Ernen Festival in July 2026.
