Estonia is located along the Baltic Sea and shares its borders with both Latvia and the Russian Federation.
About a third of the population live in the capital city of Tallinn whose Old Town is included in UNESCO World Heritage List. Estonia's history is marked by Nazi and Soviet occupation and the country is very proud of its independence; English is widely spoken and the country has a "Scandinavian" feel.
Tallinn offers many exciting venues in which to perform. Orchestras and choirs can perform in the Town Hall or in the newly-built Kumu Museum. We also have access to the prestigious concert halls in the House of the Brotherhood of Black Heads and the Kanut Guild Hall. Choirs have the opportunity to perform in the Church of Saint John as part of its established series of evening concerts. In the summer months performances can be arranged in the seaside resort of Parnu where outdoor concerts are very well attended.
