This year, the festival is hybrid, which means you can watch the concerts and events virtually *for free*, or in-person if you purchase one of the limited-availability tickets from estonianmusicweek.ca . Snap up these tickets quickly to secure what may be your first in-person live music date in 18 months.
That being said, if you can't get tickets in time, you can still watch the show online on the Estonian Music Facebook page or YouTube channel.
At all concerts, EMW is ensuring COVID-19 protocol will be observed, with proof of double-vaccination required to enter and venues operating at 50% capacity. Masks must be worn except when eating or drinking.
In an official statement, Artistic and Executive Director Sebastian Buccioni said, “Our mission [is to bring] talented Estonian artists to Canada to share the stage with Canadian artists on the same wavelength. Whether you’re an [i]Eesti kultuuri ekspert[i] or couldn’t even place Estonia on the map, this one is for you!...We will be connecting audiences and bridging communities like never before.”
All the bases are covered with the festival lineup this year.
