Tänud toreda festivali eest! Meile oli see esimene ja väga kasulik kogemus. Samuti oli rõõmustav, et konkursi tase niivõrd kõrge oli.

Thanks again for this wonderful competition and big organization! Increadible!

The Junges Vokalensemble is full of Estonian memories and it is hard to be so far away from this nice town TALLINN and their lovely musicians.

Thank you for all the excellent work you did in planning, setting up and carrying out this wonderful festival and contest. It was my and my choir's first time not only in the Baltic states but in all over eastern Europe and we were pleasantly surprised. We had a marvelous time and we haven't regretted the decision to participate and travel to Tallinn for a minute. We felt very much welcomed and at home. Organization couldn't have been better. We'll be back!

I want to say THANK YOU VERY MUCH for a wonderful festival in Tallinn which showed the wide range of choral music and the extraordinary standard of the choirs and of choral education especially in the Baltic States. My choir Junges Vokalensemble Hannover was – as during the Laulupidu Festival in 2009 – deeply impressed by your warm hospitality and perfect organization. You really have a great team and an impressive Choral Association! All the best, hope to meet you again soon!
