The Estonian Music Days 2022 festival will take place from 16 to 24 April 2022 in Tallinn, Tartu, and Laulasmaa. It will bring more than 20 world premieres to the audience.
The 2022 “Upside Down” festival raises questions: Why do we do what we do? How do we decide how we do it? Can we do turn things completely on their heads? How? And do we even need to take a different approach? We ask these important “why” and “how” questions and give composers a chance to respond with very personal and radical self-expression.
This year, the festival will take place in a hybrid format, a selection of events will broadcast on the festival website eestimuusikapaevad.ee. Estonian Music Days 2022 festival passes are available at the Fienta ticket sales environment from January 18. The pre-sale pass guarantees admission to all concerts of the festival and access to the online environment.
