Tallinn is a city where music is deeply embedded in cultural identity and everyday life. With a strong foundation in choral traditions and collective singing, music has long played a central role in shaping social cohesion and national expression. This heritage continues to influence the city’s contemporary cultural landscape, where tradition and innovation coexist.

Today, Tallinn offers a diverse and evolving music scene, spanning classical, contemporary, and digital forms. The city hosts internationally recognised festivals and events, while also supporting a growing network of artists, producers and creative entrepreneurs. Its compact scale encourages collaboration across disciplines, contributing to a dynamic and accessible creative environment.

As a UNESCO City of Music since 2022, Tallinn is committed to strengthening music’s role in urban development and international cooperation. By investing in education, supporting emerging talent, and fostering connections across the Nordic-Baltic region, the city continues to position itself as an open and forward-looking hub for musical creativity.
