Estonian Voices, Countermeasure • Estonian Music Week 2025
A cappella jazz innovators blending folk, pop, and jazz into ethereal vocal harmonies - this is Estonian Voices.
What better pairing for the vocal sextet from Estonia than the powerful voices, beautiful harmonies and a fresh take on the vocal jazz genre by Canada's own Countermeasure.
Presented in partnership with SING! The Toronto International Vocal Arts Festival
Estonian Voices 🇪🇪
A cappella jazz virtuosos. Award-winning Estonian Voices is an a cappella vocal sextet that likes to mix it up. Jazz, classical, and folk styles all get their attention, with a repertoire of both original and traditional pieces—including renditions of a number of pop hits. Their artistic director and main arranger is Kadri Voorand. Their unique sound is formed by six strong and distinctive voices. Their clever style fuses playfulness with absolute technical mastery, bound together with a cheeky smile and a charming sprinkle of vocal artistry.
“One of the most unique sounding vocal ensembles from Europe”
- Britt Quentin, M-Pact
