Youth Gala of the St. Cecilia’s Day

For some time now, early music and instruments have been available to young musicians in various establishments. This year, the opportunity to perform has been granted to the students of Georg Ots Music College, Estonian Academy of Music and Theatre, Tallinn Music High School, Music School of Old Town Educational College and Recorder School of Nõmme. Youth should not be considered a shortage and talent often manifests itself at an early age. In some time, the youngsters of today will be the ones to add colour to the local music scene. How nice would it be to look back, many years later, to an early performance of a well-known musician.
The festival is, for many, a wonderful opportunity and grand opening. One thing is certain – the sincerity and enthusiasm of our young musicians is difficult to match, even for their more experienced colleagues.
