Heartfelt congratulations, Arvo Pärt!

Today, on September 11th, is Arvo Pärt’s birthday. An Estonian composer whose name is recognized and cherished worldwide. 

It has been a true honor for COBALT to be a supporter of the Arvo Pärt Centre since its very beginning. 

On the occasion of the composer’s 90th birthday, the Arvo Pärt Centre has published a book-album “With Gratitude. With Warmth. With Love. Musical Greetings from Arvo Pärt.”  

The musical greetings are unique short pieces that Arvo Pärt has written for friends, and collaborators. Their purpose has been to congratulate, greet, or thank someone. Over nearly fifty years, Pärt has written more than 80 such greetings, of which 78 are now gathered between the covers of this book.  

He also wrote such a greeting for us (though signed to our then business name, Luiga Mody Hääl Borenius).  

COBALT thanks Arvo Pärt for all the beautiful and elevating moments that he and his music have given us.  

With heartfelt congratulations on your 90th jubilee, from the entire COBALT team.  

Let it sound!
