The Sound of Wine

Tickets are all-inclusive, covering both the live performance and the curated selection of drinks we will be tasting. What does a rich, dark red wine sound like? How does a vibrant, modern flavor translate onto the piano keys? You are invited to an intimate evening where a traditional wine tasting meets live music storytelling. Forget academic lectures on tannins, oak aging, and acidity; on this night, we will taste with our ears and listen with our palates. Composer and pianist Arashk Azizi will take you on a sensory journey through a carefully curated collection of amazing red wines, blending a rich palette of taste and sound. The music is a living dialogue: partially pre-composed to match the character of each bottle, and partially improvised live, shaped by the immediate energy of the room and the lingering finish of the pour. How it works: The Pour: You get a glass from our curated selection of premium red wines. The Introduction: Arashk gives a brief, casual introduction to the "story" and vibe of that specific bottle. The Tasting & Music: You take a sip, sit back, and keep savoring the drink while Arashk translates the flavor into a 7-to-10-minute live piano poem right in front of you. We will repeat this process for four different wines, turning the tasting into a fluid musical journey. Step into a room where flavor becomes a narrative and music becomes a physical sensation. Let the wine open your palate, and let the piano poem open your imagination. #tallinnfringe2026
