The highlight of the event is the outdoor gala on June 16 in the courtyard of Haapsalu Castle. At the concert, maestro Neeme Järvi, the Estonian National Symphony Orchestra ERSO and the Estonian National Male Choir will perform. Neeme Järvi, the masterful author of various concert programs, has put together the program for the evening.

The festival is also known for its chamber concert program. One highlight of which is a performance by the Tallinn Chamber Orchestra, where both Sibelius and Tchaikovsky will be heard.

On June 17, there is a free concert of young musicians in the Haapsalu Kuursaal auditorium.

In addition, walking tours will be organised in Haapsalu, and the festival also includes a night film screening of “Tchaikovsky’s Wife”.
