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.

She has worked with a number of well known Estonian artists such as Sandra Jõgeva, Malle Leis and Erik Alalooga. Rose wishes to share her experiences of Estonia as a vibrant and unique place with Australia in the interests of cultural diplomacy and intercultural dialogue.
The works at exhibition feature the geography and landscape of Tallinn in the summer time using macro and aerial footage of the natural environment. It is both a series of photographs and video installation titled “The Space Between Us.”

Out of Estonia comes a most perverse and pleasurable story of the former Soviet Union. In the early 1990s, the Estonian Film Archive received a pile of canisters containing long-lost film strips from Eesti Reklaamfilm – the only studio in the USSR that produced commercials. The founder and boss of the successful business enterprise was Peedu Ojamaa, a gifted salesman who started young, selling seedy photos to his school friends. According to Peedu, “Everybody knows that happiness means owning things.” When the Kremlin decided to make commercials in the late ’60s, it seems fitting that such a man got the permit. If the products didn’t exist, or at best didn’t make it to the shelves, what did it matter? The style was borrowed from the West, overlaid with a special Soviet touch (check out the Cosmos marmalade). Kiur Aarma’s documentary, crafted from the Archive’s lost-and-found commercials, is filled with jaw-dropping ads and lines, such as, “If we don’t have the product, at least with have the packaging.” Don’t miss this hilarious and knowing ride through a little-known aspect of Soviet history.
Tickets available here at the Sydney Film Festival Site
