Ensemble UNA CORDA (Estonia)
Kristi Mühling (kannel)
Liis Viira (harp)
Ene Nael (harpsichord)

Una Corda (in Italian “one string”) is an ensemble with a unique composition, encompassing three multi-string instruments: the harp, kannel and harpsichord. Una Corda gave its first concert on February 14, 2009 organized by the Association of Estonian Professional Musicians.  Members of the ensemble are renowned musicians, who inspire each other in different ways.
Una Corda has given concerts in the different music festivals in Estonia and in abroad – Estonian Music in Gotland, Sweden (2012), Contemporary Harpsichord Festival PROCEMBALO in Italy (2013), festival NORDLICHTER in Berlin, Germany (2014).
The repertoire of Una Corda mainly consists of Estonian music (arrangements and pieces written specially for Una Corda).

In January 2012, Una Corda released their first CD which presents original compositions as well as Una Corda’s arrangements of Estonian music from the past century, bringing these valuable classical compositions into new light.

Kristi Mühling (kannel) is an enthusiastic performer of contemporary music and often premiers works composed for the kannel. As a chamber musician and soloist she is dedicated to introducing and teaching the Estonian chromatic kannel as a versatile art music instrument. She gives kannel lessons at the Georg Ots Tallinn Music School and at the Estonian Academy of Music and Theatre. Kristi is also a member of another unique ensemble (mezzo-soprano, flute, kannel, cello), Resonabilis.

Liis Viira (harp) is one of the very few harpist in Estonia. As a talented and esteemed musician and composer, Liis participates in various improvisational music projects and is a member of the Estonian National Symphony Orchestra since 2007.

Ene Nael (harpsichord) divides her time between performing and teaching the young harpsichord players of the Music School of the Old Town Educational College. Besides early music, Ene often performs contemporary music, premiering many works for harpsichord by Estonian composers. In addition, she is an active participant in the work of the Estonian Harpsichord Friends´ Society, and among other things has been arranging a summer camp for teaching historical keyboard instruments and orchestral music since 2000.
