Friday, June 5 21:00 – 22:30<\/p>\n

St. Michael’s church (R\u00fc\u00fctli 9, Tallinn)<\/p>\n<\/div>

The church concert, held as part of the International Folklore Festival Baltica, is titled \u201cSacred Stories and Songs\u201d. At Rootsi-Mihkli Church, the door opens to a deeper and more timeless layer of folk tradition \u2014 where song is a way to create the world, to order it, to give it meaning, and to maintain a connection with the sense of the sacred within oneself and in the surrounding world.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>

The programme features songs and instrumental pieces that highlight the more timeless and contemplative side of folklore. The audience will have the opportunity to sing along to lyrical runic songs about the creation of the world and the star maiden, listen to folk-style choral tunes, and experience the church singing heritage of the Old Believers as well as the singing traditions of other peoples.<\/p>\n<\/div>

The songs and instrumental music will be performed by the Ammuker, the T\u00e4helinnud folk group from Kambja Ignatsi Jaagu School, the V\u00e4ike Hellero, folk musicians from the Estonian Academy of Music and Theatre, the Nade\u017eda ensemble of the Peipsi Old Believers\u2019 Cultural Society, runic song singer Urmas Kalla, the harp players from the ensemble Vormsi Talharpajad, kannel player Kertu-Liis \u00d5nnis, and folk musician Kulno Malva on the accordion and bagpipes.<\/p>\n<\/div>

International guests at the Baltica folklore festival include the Czech folk ensemble Ku\u017eelovjan, the Lithuanian folk group Judl\u0117, and the folk group from the Autonomous University of Quer\u00e9taro in Mexico, the ensemble Mariachi Real de Santiago, and the trio Titanes Huastecos.<\/div>\n
Programme curators: Marion Selgall and Eva Eensaar-Tootsen (Estonian Academy of Music and Theatre, traditional music programme). Producer: Krista Sildoja.<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
