The Formula of Love – Tracing the Work of Arvo Pärt
The Estonian composer Arvo Pärt celebrated his 90th birthday in September 2025. The Formula of Love – Tracing the Work of Arvo Pärt explores the creative world of a composer renowned for his minimalist tintinnabuli style. Drawing on the archives of the Arvo Pärt Centre, the exhibition offers insight into Pärt’s working methods, with his own reflections on his music forming a central part of the display.
The exhibition is on view at the Oulu Music Centre from 9 to 22 March 2026, with free admission.
