Kristina Kõrver joined the Arvo Pärt Centre in 2012. She was attracted by the opportunity to study Arvo Pärt’s work in a framework that combines music history with a range of other disciplines. Kristina researches archival materials related to Pärt’s compositions, documenting their role in the creative process and using the composer’s own accounts to uncover the rich layers that make up each work. She leads the centre’s educational programmes, lecturing on Pärt and liaising with visiting students. She also helped to curate the centre’s first permanent exhibition, If you seek from almost nothing... ( 2020), and she has edited and written works on Pärt. Having studied at the Estonian Academy of Music and Theatre, and Tallinn University, Kristina previously taught music history and worked for Muusika magazine.
