\u201cThe 13th Youth Song Celebration is inspired by the poem written by Hando Runnel<\/strong> titled \u2018Let There Be Light! (Valgust!)\u2019 which, on the one hand, is like an ode to the beautiful nature of Estonia, and on the other, asks these important questions: what is light in the spiritual sense; who is the one who enables the sun to shine?\u201d said P\u00e4rt Uusberg<\/strong>, Artisitic Director of the 13th Youth Song Celebration.<\/p>\n
