The Estonian Philharmonic Chamber Choir is named by the BBC Music Magazine as one of the ten best choirs in the world.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cLittle surprise that a nation famous for song \u2013 its independence from the USSR was preceded by a \u2018Singing Revolution\u2019 of massed voices in Tallinn in 1988 \u2013 should boast one of the world\u2019s finest choirs,\u201d the BBC Music Magazine said.<\/p>\n

\u201cFounded in 1981 by Tonu Kaljuste, who conducted it for 20 years before handing over the baton to Paul Hillier, the Estonian Philharmonic Chamber Choir is wide-ranging in its repertoire, but is especially well known for its performances and recordings of Estonian composers such as Arvo P\u00e4rt and Veljo Tormis\u201d.<\/p>\n

The repertoire of the Estonian Philharmonic Chamber Choir extends from the Gregorian chant and baroque to the music of the 21st century, with a special focus on the work of Estonian composers, such as Arvo P\u00e4rt, Veljo Tormis, Erkki-Sven T\u00fc\u00fcr, Galina Grigoryeva, Toivo Tulev, T\u00f5nu K\u00f5rvits, Helena Tulve, and introducing their output to the world.
