About
I am the artistic director of the summer classical music festival - NISSI CHURCH MUSIC FESTIVAL,
and the following year will be the fifth festival in a row. In other words, a modest anniversary.
As a festival, we will continue our tradition of organizing concerts throughout the summer every Sunday
from June 22 to August 31 in 2025.
We have a diverse program and exciting performers to offer the audience for the upcoming summer.
A lot depends on funding - based on this, we can finally decide, who we can actually invite to our festival to perform.
We would very much like to get in touch with the Calmus Ensemble, Leipzig to consider their participation.
In addition, we would like to offer the Mosaic Congregational gospel choir the opportunity to perform in full scale.
The String Quartet Magnet is very welcome. We are looking forward to an exciting program that would be a mix of the classical string quartet repertoire and which would include exciting works by the leading composers
of the younger generation of Estonia.
This is a preliminary draft of the 2025 festival program
