Celebrate Estonian Independence Day at a Concert by Duo Ruut in Tabivere

 

On the evening of Monday, 23 February at 19:00, music fans and local community members are invited to a cultural celebration in honour of Estonia’s Independence Day in Tabivere Culture Centre, or rahvamaja. The evening will feature a captivating performance by Estonia’s acclaimed ensemble Duo Ruut, whose music continues to resonate with audiences across the world.

Celebrated for their distinctive minimalist approach and richly expressive sound, Duo Ruut brings together two musicians with diverse musical backgrounds, united by a shared vision of exploring the emotional depth of song through simplicity and imagination. Over the past few years, the duo have toured in over 20 countries, performing on major festival stages, and in renowned concert halls, earning heartfelt praise from international audiences.

The venue in Tabivere is indeed small, so obtaining tickets might be difficult, but it is one of only a handful of concerts the duo will be having in Estonia this year. The others are 5 March in Tallinn’s Paavli Culture Centre with Puuluup of Eurovision fame, 7 March in Võru’s Kannel Culture Centre, and then that’s it until July. At the end of that month, they will be headlining at this year’s Võnge Festival, which will be held in Tõrva. During the rest of this time they will be touring internationally.
