Tallinn City Tour with Jan Kaus / EMP 2026 • Estonian Music Days 2026 „STORIES“ / EMP 2026

April 19 at 13:00

City Tour with Jan Kaus

Ticket: € 10

As part of the Estonian Music Days, writer Jan Kaus invites you on a journey through the districts of central Tallinn to discover traces left by Estonian composers and musicians in the urban landscape. We will seek out streets and houses intertwined with the development of Estonian music, catching glimpses of the shadows of both classics and contemporary creators. Moving through familiar places, we will attempt to listen to the city in a new way—finding musical reflections, echoes, and imaginings within the Tallinn landscape.

Information regarding the starting point in Tallinn city centre will be shared directly with participants (it is necessary to “buy” a 0-ticket from pre-sales).

The tour will be held in Estonian.
