What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

The festival's use of a disused Soviet-era coastal artillery emplacement on the Ninase Peninsula as a concert venue is unique among Estonian classical music festivals, pairing formal repertoire with an exposed military site overlooking the Baltic Sea

02

The mystery stays covered

Concerts also take place in Saaremaa's small rural churches and the fishing village of Tagaranna, giving the festival a genuinely dispersed, rural character rather than a single concert-hall setting

03

The city starts moving

Mixing classical and jazz programming across these varied venues, rather than committing to one genre, is a consistent feature of the festival since its founding in 1995
