Autumn Landscapes

Chamber Choir Head Ööd, Vend got its start in spring of 2008, when Pärt Uusberg called together a project choir to take part in his brother’s diploma production „Head ööd, Vend“ (“Good night, Brother”). After the last performance, the desire to sing together had not veined and a decision was made to continue as a regular choir. The core of the choir consists of singers who grew up together singing in Rapla Riinimanda choirs, conducted by Urve Uusberg, along with friends from the Estonian Youth Mixed Choir and young music students. The choir has been a laboratory for the young conductor and composer since its beginnings and still performs a lot of Uusberg’s music. Head Ööd, Vend has successfully taken part in various international competitions, one of the highlights being the Grand Prix in the 13th International Choir Competition “Tallinn 2013”. Head Ööd, Vend has recorded two albums: “Siis vaikivad kõik mõtted” (2009, Pärt Uusberg’s choral music) and “Õhtul” (2013) – latter being named “Album of the Year” by Estonian Choral Association in 2013. The same year, Chamber Choir Head Ööd, Vend received the honor of being named “Choir of the Year”.
