Festival "Towers of Tallinn" brings together the
history of Tallinn and contemporary oeuvre, introducing the city's famous silhouette inside out through different
eras of music. Medieval towers of the city wall, churches, modern skyscrapers -
in accordance to the era of the tower, the whole Tallinn all the way to the sea will be filled
with music, from the Middle Ages and Baroque to folksy melodies, jazz and contemporary
music. This means exciting events through three days, concerts with style end
elegance, beautiful music, musical walks, summer sunsets and fascinating views
on both the City of Tallinn and far across the sea - joy from attending for
everyone!
In August 2013, festival "Towers of Tallinn", which discovers the city through music, will
have the third edition. Two years ago, the festival "Towers of Tallinn" was chosen as one of
the highlights of August in the program of the Tallinn 2011 - European Capital
of Culture and was really successful among the audience.
