Overview
Walking down the Song Festival Grounds, we step into the story of how choral singing became Estonia’s quiet rebellion, a force so strong that it helped bring down an empire.
Through centuries, song has been more than music in Estonia. It has been a call to unity, a form of resistance, and the heartbeat of a nation unwilling to be silenced. As we walk, we listen to the stories of those who stood here before, the echoes of past festivals, and the voices that still rise today.
And yes, we will tell you about the bees, so eager to collect pollen and produce honey that, without realizing it, they managed to bring down an empire.
Step into history. Walk through the music. Hear the songs that changed a nation.
