Dear choirs, ensembles and singers from around the world, we invite you to celebrate the 95th anniversary of the legendary composer Veljo Tormis in 2025!
Recommendations for song selection:
We recommend choosing well-known and beloved songs by Veljo Tormis:
"Curse Upon Iron"; "Estonian Ballads"; "Forgotten Peoples"; "Autumn Landscapes"; "Songs of the Ancient Sea"; "The Singer's Childhood"; "Röntyshkä"; "Votic Wedding Songs"; "Ingrian Evenings"; "Lahemaa Song; "Songs Learned at Weddings"; "When I Begin to Sing"; etc.
We'll compile a video collage using all received submissions, which we'll collectively view on the big screen at Veljo Tormis's birthplace and virtually with a global audience on August 7, 2025.
We are looking forward to your participation and the opportunity to meet either virtually or in person at the anniversary celebrations in 2025!
Kindly share this invitation with your friends and let Tormis's music inspire you!
