On November 13, Reval Troubadours and Mikk Dede will give a concert at the luxurious hall of the city palace that once belonged to the Baltic-German nobel family Ungern-Sternbergs (the building of the Estonian Academy of Sciences).

The program entitled as Christmas Music from the Middle Ages presents beautiful selection of duets from the IX to XV centuries, Gregorian chants for Christmas time, musical pearls telling little stories about wine, love and soul of troubadours and also the Cantigas de Santa Maria, songs from a medieval manuscript composed under the reign of Spanish king Alfonso X (1221−1284) and dedicated to the Virgin Mary.
