PROJECT
FINISHED
This cooperation project helped to build many new cross-border contacts, meanwhile strenghtening the local cultural identities and sustaining choral music traditions in Estonia and Latvia. Achievements: During the project, five children and youth choirs from Võru, Ogre, Baldone and Jūrmala developed a close cooperation. They spent time together in joint camps and rehearsals, where they learned both Latvian and Estonian songs, along with some basic things from each other's language. In the following joint concerts the Latvian children performed the Estonian music and vice versa with the same enthusiasm as when singing their own well-known songs.Within the project, also workshops and trainings for conductors were organized, and a new Estonian-Latvian songbook was compiled and issued. The project closed with emotional festival in Baldone, where all the choirs joined in a parade and large concert.
