Proms Composer: Arvo Pärt
Estonian-born Arvo Pärt is at once one of contemporary music's most distinctive voices and one of the most performed and recorded. Although Pärt began as avant-garde enfant terrible behind the Iron Curtain, he gained an international reputation after a chance encounter with plainchant led to a spiritual and creative rebirth and a new, accessible tonal style in the 1970s.
