Retsensioon Käisin Pärnus, Jõulujazzi festivali raames toimuval jõulukontserdil. Kontsert leidis aset 5.detsembril 2014.aastal kohvikus Fookus. Esines Eesti viimase aastakümne säravaim vokaalansambel Estonian Voices. Kontserdil esitleti kauaoodatud debüütalbumit "Ole hea" ning põneva originaalmuusika kõrval sai kuulda ka rahvamuusika seadeid ning lõbusaid arranžeeringuid tuntud hittidest. Enamike vokaalseadete autoriks oli Kadri Voorand keda võibki pidada grupi loominguliseks liidriks. Koos temaga laulsid ka Mikk Dede, Arno Tamm, Maria Väli, Mirjam Dede ja Aare Külama. Antud kontsert oli minu jaoks uus ja eriline igast küljest. Esiteks külastasin kohvikut Fookus ise teist korda ja kontserti käisin seal kuulamas esimest korda. Samuti olin siis ka Estonian Voicest väga vähe kuulnud. Seepärast olin kontserti alguses üsna vaimustunud. Tõeliselt vägev oli kuulda nii võimsaid hääli koos kõlamas. Üh...

This is Toompea Castle. The history of Toompea is actually the story of rulers and power in Estonia. The times and rulers changed and so did power and mentalities – each new ruler built and fortified this place according to his needs and taste. Today, visitors to Toompea can find here buildings mostly dating from three periods: the medieval order’s stronghold with its impressive western wall and towers, the most well-known of which is the tower of Tall Herman; the Russian-era government administration building with a facade representing classical styles and opening onto Castle Square; and the building of the Riigikogu, which originates from the time of the First Republic of Estonia and is hidden behind the walls of the castle Time has been generous to Toompea castle. The well-protected fortress has been almost impregnable. It has been spared big fires and, even more importantly, the palace has always had its masters. Being a centre of...

Manners in Estonia Kevin Pillau Hierarchy in Estonian Society Estonia is a hierarchical society. Age, experience and position earn respect. Older people are generally viewed as wiser and as a result revered and honoured. Elders are introduced first and in general are treated much like royalty. Those in senior positions bear the responsibility to make decisions in the interest of the group. Due to seniority titles are very important when addressing people. It is expected that you will use a person's title and their surname until invited to use their first name. Cultural Traditions Estonian culture as an identity is very strong. Oral traditions especially have played a key role in preserving traditions, stories and customs during Soviet administration. Singing is a very Estonian activity and the Estonians are known to have sung their way to freedom during the "Singing Revolution" of 1989-91. Manners Estonians on the whole a...

Holidays, Festivals, Cultural events TALLINN - If you're looking for entertainment in Estonia this summer, you are really spoiled for choice. Festivals and events dedicated to the consumption of beer are a lot of fun, but if you want to get the true feel of the country, you need something a little more ethnic. Like a town fair. Just as July becomes August, the seaside town of Haapsalu will host a grand spectacle of rural Estonian entertainment. The White Lady Days is a summer celebration filled with amusement for all the family. Held in and around the remains of the Teutonic-knights-era castles, the fair combines enchanting medieval legends with modern countryside charm to create a comprehensive experience of Estonia beyond the big cities. But the legend of the White Lady of Haapsalu, which is at the heart of the festival, is perhaps the most famous tall tale of the many that are so abundant in Estonia's folklore. It is the story of...
