Toomas Vanem Quartet (EE) / Viljandi Guitar Festival 2024

Saturday 12. October at 21:00

Estonian Traditional Music Center • Tasuja pst 6, 71011 Viljandi, Viljandi, Estonia

Toomas Vanem Quartet (EE) will perform at the Viljandi Guitar Festival on October 12.

Toomas Vanem’s performance is something for the aficionados of progressive instrumental music – he has blended heavy metal rock with electric jazz-rock fusion, forming a tough yet distinctive whole. Such music conveys deep emotions, amidst which influences from the Orient and of course jazz can be heard. The guitarist has collaborated with world-renowned names such as Ritchie Kotzen, Nicko McBrain, Mattias IA Eklundh, Stuart Hamm, Virgil Donati, Alex Argento. At the concert, you can hear how the musician opens up to the audience and tells his story through his characteristic guitar handling and musical language.

In April 2024, Toomas Vanem’s solo album “Confession” was released. What is confessed on this album, the author will not elaborate. Instead, he leaves the listener free to let their imagination soar, to contemplate and philosophize. And to discover THAT in the music itself.
