| Picture: Erkki-Sven Tüür (composer), Olari Elts (conductor), Mika Väyrynen (accordionist) Finnish accordionist Mika Väyrynen will be the featured soloist with the BBC Symphony Orchestra under the direction of Estonian Maestro Olari Elts on 4 July 2018 at the BBC Maida Vale Studios in London. Together they will perform fellow Estonian Erkki-Sven Tüür´s Concerto "Prophecy" for Accordion and Symphony Orchestra for an invited audience in celebration of the 100th Anniversary of Estonian independence. Erkki-Sven Tüür is one of most renowned composers of today. He composed this Concerto 2006-2007 on request of Mika Väyrynen, as a joint commission between the Turku Philharmonic Orchestra (Turku, Finland) and Orchestra de Bretagne (Rennes, France). The World Premieres took place the same year in Turku and Rennes and also with the Estonian State Symphony Orchestra in Tallinn, Estonia. Each of the concerts was under the direction of Maestro Olari Elts, the 2000 winner of the International Sibelius competition for conductors. In 2014 the Ondine recording label published a recording with Mika Väyrynen as soloist and Olari Elts conducting the Helsinki Philharmonic Orchestra.
