These concerts are organised in cooperation between State Concert Institute Eesti Kontsert and Association of Estonian Professional Musicians.
The cooperation between Mati Turi and Martti Raide began in 2007. Since then, they have mainly performed vocal music programs by German (Gustav Mahler, Hugo Wolf, Franz Schubert, Robert Schumann, Richard Strauss, Arnold Schönebrg, Anton Webern) and Estonian composers (Mart Saar, Eduard Tubin, the Kapp family and others). But their repertoire also consists of the North (Jean Sibelius, Edvard Grieg) and French music (Claude Debussy). In addition to Estonia, duo Mati Turi and Martti Raide have also given concerts in USA, Canada and Germany.
