Previous Years Gala Concert Programmes
Preparation for the gala concert requires a lot of effort, a lot of work is done by all the participants, teachers, parents, organizers, and directors for this specific moment.
The main aim of this concert is for more people to see this beauty, as well as for the participants to get more practice, to perfect the repertoire, and to feel more confident on stage.

Since the 2021 anniversary year, the programme of masterclasses now includes not one, but minimum two gala concerts: one in Tallinn, the capital of Estonia, and the second in other Estonian town - a real tour!
