The project is financed by private donations only. All income above, will be donated to organise the legacy of Veljo Tormis.
On August 7, we celebrate the 90th birthday of Veljo Tormis. He will observe it from a greater distance this time, as he is no longer among us.
This last spring has been challenging, but there are many ways to celebrate such an important day. To honor his empowering influence and vast heritage, the recordings of his music will be played from sunrise to sunset on Tartu song festival arena.
This music-filled day on the festival arena is supported only by donations. A part of the budget was provided by generous entrepreneurs, but for covering all our expenses we have set up a page on Hooandja crowdfunding platform, where you can support this event. Everything exceeding the € 4800 will be donated for further work on Veljo Tormis’s musical heritage.
Help us to pay homage to Veljo Tormis and his works, and to support taking care of his legacy. His music, his ideas and his care has inspired a lot of people both here and overseas. His legacy is immense, your participation will be a significant one.
