LISTED TIMES ARE GMT

A Word About Timings

All timings are listed in both Greenwich Mean Time and Eastern Daylight Time. North America and Europe are now on Daylight Time. For those of you who live in other time zones, you will need to make a calculation to derive the time of an event where you live. In North America subtract four (4) hours (from GMT) for the Eastern Time Zone, five (5) hours for the Central Time Zone, and six (6) hours for the Mountain Time Zone. Subtract seven (7) hours for the Pacific Time Zone and eight (8) hours for Alaska, and nine (9) hours for Hawaii. UK, Ireland and Portugal add one (1) hour to GMT. In most of the rest of Europe add two (2) hours (some Eastern European countries are three (3) hours ahead of GMT). In the Southern Hemisphere, Australia and New Zealand are on Daylight Time (Australia is 11 hours ahead of GMT; New Zealand is 13 hours ahead of GMT).

For those in the United States, it is useful to keep in mind that broadcasts in the evening hours often appear in the NEXT day's listings because they occur in the small hours in GMT time, which is our primary reference in the following listings.
For more information on time zone calculations, double click the time display on the lower right of your screen (if you are using a PC) to display the Time Zone tab, then click on the drop-down menu for a full list of time zones and their relationships to Greenwich Mean Time. You may also let the TIME CONVERTER do the calculations for you.

	1700 12:00 NOON	SPECIAL PROGRAM: Kontserdisaalis. Heli ja Keel Sarja HELIjaKEEL kontserdil "La fabbrica illuminata" on kavas heliloojate Andrus Kallastu, Erkki-Sven Tüüri, Malera Kasuku ja Luigi Nono muusika ning kirjanike Maarja Kangro ja Kalju Kruusa sõnakunst. Vestlusringis räägitakse agnostitsismist. Kontserdi teema on agnostitsism, millega vähemal või rohkemal määral võiks ettekandel olevaid teoseid seostada. Agnostitsism on seisukoht, mille järgi ei ole teatud metafüüsilist ja usulist laadi väidete tõesus või väärus teada ja selle teadmine ei ole vast isegi põhimõtteliselt võimalik. Seda terminit kasutatakse tihti teoloogiliste õpetuste puhul, eriti vastandades seda teismile. Termini võttis 1869. aastal kasutusele Thomas Henry Huxley, kuid agnostikuid oli olemas varemgi, juba antiikajal. Laiemalt on agnostitsismi all mõistetud ka seisukohta, mis peab võimatuks kas teadmist üldse või teadmist mingis valdkonnas. Kava: * Luigi Nono (1924-1990) - "Omaggio A Emilio Vedova" (1960) * Malera Kasuku (1977) - "Trio" (1977) * Erkki-Sven Tüür (1959) - "Spectrum III" (1999) * Andrus Kallastu (1967) - "Lectiones" (kuulub tsüklisse "Roomet Jakapi kolm loengut filosoofiast", 2019) I Descartes II Spinoza III Leibniz * Luigi Nono (1924-1990) - "La fabbrica illuminata" ("Valgustatud tehas", 1964) Esitavad: Iris Oja (hääl), Leonora Palu (flööt), Olga Voronova (viiul), Leho Karin (tšello), Diana Liiv (klaver), Ulla Krigul (orel), Tammo Sumera (elektroonika). Muusikateoste vahel loevad tekste Maarja Kangro ja Kalju Kruusa. Kontserdi muusikalisele osale järgneb vestlusring agnostitsismist ning selle erinevatest võimalikest väljendumisvormidest erinevate autorite loomingus. Eesti heliloojad, kelle looming kontserdil kõlab, ei ole end teadaolevalt liigitanud kindlalt ühessegi konfessiooni, pigem võib nende maailmavaates aimata teatavat eestlasele omast distantseeritust. Kirjanikud Maarja Kangro ja Kalju Kruusa on agnostitsistliku maailmavaate esindajad. Arutlevad Atko Remmel, Andrus Kallastu, Maarja Kangro ja Kalju Kruusa. Vestlust juhib Eesti Akadeemilise Usundiloo Seltsi president Madis Arukask. Kontsert on salvestatud 28. detsembril 2020 Niguliste muuseum-kontserdisaalis. Helirežissöör on Teet Kehlmann, toimetaja Johanna Mängel. (2 hrs., 30 min.)
