In the summer of 2025, we will celebrate both Arvo Pärt’s 90th birthday and Veljo Tormis’s 95th birth anniversary with a concert by the Estonian National Male Choir.

With this concert, we celebrate both Arvo Pärt’s 90th birthday and the 95th anniversary of Veljo Tormis’s birth.

Sound and silence, stillness and motion are woven together in the music of Arvo Pärt. Celebrate the 90th birthday of ‘the father of Holy Minimalism’ with a Late-Night Prom.

The 2025 Pühalepa Music Festival is dedicated to Arvo Pärt’s 90th birthday and Veljo Tormis’s 95th birth anniversary.

“Saga of the peoples without armour” is a powerful work with music by Veljo Tormis and Arvo Pärt that celebrates the memory of the Baltic peoples. This unique fusion of tradition, music and kabuki theatre is performed by the avant-garde Mikrokosmos choir.
