Discover the Bjergstrøm project, a unique musical collaboration between Maltese musician Glen Montanaro and Estonian pianist Liisi, aiming to foster cultural exchange between Malta and Estonia through a series of performances, including the Rebasemõisa festival.

Music has always been a universal language, transcending borders and connecting hearts. In a world brimming with diverse cultures, two musicians from Malta and Estonia are weaving a tapestry of sound that promises to bridge the gap between their nations. Glen Montanaro, a Maltese musician based in Aalborg, Denmark, and Liisi, an Estonian pianist, have embarked on an exciting journey under the banner of Bjergstrøm.

A Symphony of Cultures

The collaboration between Glen and Liisi is not just a meeting of minds but of souls. Their project, Bjergstrøm, is a testament to the power of music in uniting diverse cultures. With Glen on the electric guitar and Liisi on the piano, the duo creates soundscapes that are both enchanting and evocative, inviting listeners on a journey through the musical heritages of Malta and Estonia.

The Rebasemõisa Festival: A Stage for Cultural Exchange

The highlight of the Bjergstrøm project is their upcoming tour in Estonia, culminating in a performance at the Rebasemõisa festival. This cozy, three-day summer festival, set to take place from June 28-30, 2024, has grown from a local gathering to an international event, attracting musicians and audiences from around the globe. For Bjergstrøm, it represents a unique opportunity to showcase their collaboration and foster cultural exchange between Estonia and Malta.

A Call for Collaboration

Recognizing the potential of their project to symbolize unity through music, Glen reached out to Aku Sorainen, the Honorary Consul of Malta in Estonia. Their goal is to explore avenues of collaboration with the Embassy of Malta in Estonia, hoping to amplify the impact of their music and the message it carries.

Beyond the Festival

But the journey doesn't end with the festival. Glen and Liisi plan to tour other cities across Estonia, bringing their harmonious blend of piano and electric guitar to new audiences. Each performance is a step towards strengthening the cultural ties between their countries, showcasing the richness of their musical traditions, and, most importantly, demonstrating that music knows no boundaries.

Join the Musical Journey

The Bjergstrøm project is more than just a series of concerts; it's a movement towards a more interconnected and harmonious world. As Glen Montanaro writes, "We have an amazing opportunity... to symbolically introduce new cultures and bring together diverse musicians with different backgrounds." This initiative is a beacon of hope and unity, proving that even in the vast diversity of our world, we can find common ground.
