Sound Walk in Tartu. Baltic & Estonian Music Days

A soundwalk is a spiritual and physical practice that combines art, movement meditation, perceptiveness and environmental consciousness. During our soundwalk, groups will be guided through the city of Tartu, focusing on various sounds that the environment provides at any given moment. The journey is led by Märt-Matis Lill, the artistic director of the festival and composer. Free event!

A soundwalk inspires us to listen and open our minds to the complex sound fabric constantly created by the environment that surrounds us. It’s a musical journey to discover soundscapes that might initially seem simple and even primitive, but at a closer look, they open a surprising and unexpectedly plentiful sound palette.

STARTING POINT: Tartu central park, near Kaubamaja shopping centre

Estonian Music Days is the most important continuously held contemporary music festival in Estonia. Over the decades it has become undeniably the most significant platform for Estonian composers, new musical creations, and artistic growth. What makes the festival unique is the abundance of premieres of Estonian composers’ newly commissioned works.

In 2024 Tartu is the cultural capital of Europe. Therefore the festival Estonian Music Days will join forces with three neighboring countries to become a larger event that unites Baltic and Estonian Music Days. In addition to recognized Estonian ensembles and soloists, musicians from Latvia, Lithuania, and Finland are also expected.

The Festival Baltic and Estonian Music Days is a part of the European Capital of Culture Tartu 2024 main programme.
