Bulgaria & Estonia

The clarity and purity of Estonia's Academic Female Choir of Tartu University, The Babi of Bistritsa and Bulgaria's Cosmic Voices are featured in this program. All stand as symbols of national excellence. Estonians take great pride in their music. In 1991, as the Russians conceded sovreignty, they made a point of standing outside their Parliament building and singing national choral songs. We also meet Estonian Arvo Part, one of the leading composers of sacred choral music in Europe, whose music was banned under the Russian occupation.
