This event, "Spirit in Sound and Space—A Conversation Inspired by Arvo Pärt," will feature Dr. Robert Zatorre, a neuroscientist with the Montreal Neurological Institute, Architect Steven Holl, and SVOTS Associate Professor of Systematic Theology Dr. Peter Bouteneff.

Traveling from Estonia for these events were the Estonian Philharmonic Chamber Choir and the Tallinn Chamber Orchestra, with their conductor Tõnu Kaljuste.
