The general idea characterizing this series of concerts is to create a most suitable historical atmosphere in ancient premises by the usage of musical means. During the concert audience will hear lots of sparkling baroque music on authentic period instruments performed by Estonian professional musicians. And also an overview from a distinguished art historian Jüri Kuuskemaa about the history of every particular manorial estate, its architectural value and dignified families who once have lived there. Since 1999 the project has introduced already 50 different manorial estates already.

Estonian Manors is also a long-term charity project carried out with the aim to support our little schools and orphanages situated in manors. In the year 2011 everybody is welcome to support the Vääna manor-school near Tallinn, where local primary school and a kindergarten have been situated nearly for a century already. With the sum gathered from special endowments and from the whole income of the final concert on July 31 Estonian Manors 2011 is supporting to start with a foundation for buying different Orff musical instruments, helping to offer these children a life that is more and more worth living. We hope to add our contribution to the funds helping dreams to come into real life!

Without tickets, only endowments!
