Programme Launch

Tartu 2024 will release the programme for the title year, which will include over 300 events, one hundred nights and days before the inaugural ceremony of the European Capital of Culture.

The stunning display “One Hundred Nights and Days to the Arts of Survival” at the Aparaaditehas creative campus will raise the veil on the upcoming year’s events.

Musicians Alika Milova, Mari Kalkun and Maris Pihlap, extreme sports athletes, acrobats, dancers and many others will take the stage. Their new creations will introduce the events of the European Capital of Culture in Tartu and Southern Estonia. The evening will end with a concert by a well-known surprise act, who will perform the newly created signature song of Tartu 2024.

An artificial intelligence oracle will host the evening and tell the tale of the Tartu 2024 artistic concept Arts of Survival. The AI ​​oracle was born with the help of the Tartu production studio Östuudio.

On the same day, ticket sales for all European Capital of Culture events will start, and the Tartu 2024 Arts of Survival book will be available for purchase. The event is free of charge. ETV will broadcast the show live!
