Tallinn Chamber Choir welcomes new singers to join our ranks.
Tallinn Chamber Choir was founded in 1962 as an experimental choir with the aim of performing new works by Estonian composers.
Today, the choir consists of over 30 hobby singers driven by a passion for performing high-level choral music, thus continuing the legacy of the Tallinn Chamber Choir.
Tallinn Chamber Choir brought a little Song Celebration
to the Estonian community in Toronto!
Did you know that the commemoration of the anniversary of the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact, initiated by the Estonian community in Toronto as Black Ribbon Day, grew into an international movement that helped pave the way for the Baltic Way?
Did you know that ESTO, the worldwide festival of Estonian culture, also began in Toronto?
The Estonian community in Toronto kept Estonian culture and identity alive at a time when Estonia itself was not free. And they have never stopped. In August, Toronto hosted the “Veidi veel” (“Just a Little Longer”) celebrations marking the opening of KESKUS, the new Estonian cultural and innovation centre. Tallinn Chamber Choir joined the festivities with a special gift of thanks – we brought a little taste of Estonia’s Song Celebration to the Estonian community in Toronto.
Our conductor, Heli Jürgenson, was the Artistic Director of the entire opening ceremony.
Our journey to Toronto was made possible with the generous support of:
