Ludens is a new ensemble consisting of top Estonian musicians, driven by curiosity and dedication to fill the gap between chamber ensembles and large orchestras. Their repertoire spans from chamber pieces to orchestral programs. Focusing on contemporary music and new commissions, Ludens builds bridges between different eras, linking today's questions with the answers of the past. True to its Latin name meaning "playing," Ludens juggles music, time, media, and form.
