Estonian Music Days 2021 will be online-only



Contemporary music festival Estonian Music Days runs from April 22 to May 2 and will be online-only. The central theme of this year’s festival is “DNA” which seeks a dialogue between science, biological genetics, musical thinking and cultural origins.
