The Music of the Seven Cities festival will kick off today, June 18. The festival, which takes place all over Ida-Virumaa and offers a diverse program of music, dance, and theatre, will run until July 14.
The festival kicks off this evening with the performance “Tantsi mulle muusikat” (Dance Music to Me in English) at Jõhvi Concert Hall, featuring ballet and classical music intertwined with Estonian poetry, performed by renowned artists such as Ketlin Oja and Cristiano Principato. On June 20, Marta-Lotta Kukk and Johannes Pihlak will perform at Toila Park Café.
As the festival progresses, visitors can enjoy a romantic evening with Oliver Kuusik at Saka Manor on June 27, while on July 2, Jaak Tuksam and Ain Agan will bring heartfelt Estonian poetry to life at Vaba Lava Narva. The festival also features contemporary acts like the Egert Milder Trio on July 4 at Toila Valgevilla Courtyard, blending indie-folk with global influences.
