The Virumaa Music Festival was created with the goal of bringing concert experiences performed by Estonia’s finest musicians to the Ida-Virumaa and Lääne-Virumaa regions.

The VII Virumaa Music Festival presents 14 diverse events across Ida- and Lääne-Virumaa, featuring performances by top Estonian musicians. The program includes chamber concerts, workshops, and inspiring art experiences brought directly to schools.

Talented young musicians and their teachers from music schools will be recognized through the competition “VI Virumaa Young Musician 2025.”
