Teos annab ülevaate Pärnu suvemuusikast 18. sajandist tänapäevani. Raamatusse on kokku koondatud info, mis põhineb varem avaldatud ajaleheartiklitel ja festivalide korraldajate säilitatud arhiivimaterjalil, millele on lisatud värsked intervjuud nii meenutusi kui tulevikuvaadet sisaldades.

 

Fifty summers of music - during which the tradition of classical music festivals has grown and evolved in Pärnu - is a significant milestone. Pärnu has earned its spot among international music towns. It has been a long road with countless twists and turns, many travellers, a journey through inconstant times and circumstances. The travellers on this journey have shared a common goal - to bring good music to Pärnu, offer experiences, and tug at each listener's heartstrings. This booklet is only a brief overview, but I do hope to see thorough tractates from musicologists in the future. The programmes, performers, and organisers of Pärnu's summer festivals of classical music are worth it. The journey, which started half a century ago, continues. Ela Tomson, complier
