Dive into the rhythmic heart of Tallinn with the annual music extravaganza, Tallinn Music Week (TMW)! Held from April 3-6 in the charming Estonian capital, this year's event showcased over 200 performers from an astounding 36 countries, leaving more than 18,000 music enthusiasts begging for more!
Spring may have taken its sweet time this year, but worry not, because TMW arrived right on cue — as if being welcomed by the warming sun itself! The golden triangle of Telliskivi, Kopli, and Kalamaja played host to this enchanting musical journey, with each vibrant venue pulsating with the beats of everything from folk to digipop, jazz, metal, choral music, and performance art.
Fasten your seatbelts, because you'll want to get prepped and ready to miss out on half a dozen concerts for each one you manage to catch! We were ecstatic about the Taiwan Music Flight showcase, felt at home amongst the tunes at the Viljandi Folk Music Festival stage, danced our worries away, felt our pulses race, got emotional, and above all, had a blast!
The TMW conference kicked off on April 4 at the Nordic Hotel Forum, with some engaging speeches. Ex-President of Estonia (2016-2021) and current President of the Estonian Olympic Committee, Kersti Kaljulaid, shared her inspiring thoughts: "It's essential that we face the challenges our society encounters head-on. Culture does not shy away from such obstacles; it is a powerful tool we can rely upon in shaping Estonian, Northeastern NATO, Ukrainian, Taiwanese, Canadian, and Danish societies."
The Ukrainian Ambassador to Estonia, Maksim Kononenko, highlighted the crucial role of culture in their resistance, stating: "Culture and art are the cornerstones of our resilience, our indomitable spirit, and potent weapons against apathy. Ukrainian musicians aren't just surviving this war; they're creating. In doing so, they're safeguarding something much bigger than themselves — their culture, their voice, their future."
If you're missing the buzz from Tallinn Music Week, don't fret! Alongside the live music, the festival also offered a captivating art program showcasing exhibitions by both Estonian and international artists. Electronic music pioneer in Estonia, Aivar Tõnso, was one such star, featuring his work at the festival that brilliantly blended club culture and experimental electronic composition.
In addition, TMW's cultural offerings included engaging panel discussions, workshops, and networking opportunities that sparked exciting discussions and visions for the future of music and arts.
All in all, Tallinn Music Week 2022 was an unforgettable melting pot of culture, music, and ideas from far and wide. It showcased the best of what Tallinn has to offer to the world stage, ensuring that its reputation as a vibrant cultural capital remains undisputed. Don't forget to mark your calendars for next year — Tallinn Music Week is an experience you won't want to miss!
