Experience Estonian Philharmonic Chamber Choir

The Estonian Philharmonic Chamber Choir (EPCC), founded in 1981 by conductor Tõnu Kaljuste, is a world-renowned vocal ensemble celebrated for its exceptional clarity, precision, and emotional depth. Hailing from Estonia, the choir has carved a distinguished niche in both early music and contemporary choral repertoire, blending traditional Baltic choral heritage with innovative interpretations. Under Kaljuste’s visionary leadership and subsequent directors, the EPCC has become synonymous with championing Estonian composers like Arvo Pärt, Veljo Tormis, and Erkki-Sven Tüür, bringing their works to international acclaim.

Renowned for their crystalline sound and meticulous attention to phrasing, the choir excels across diverse styles—from medieval chant to avant-garde compositions—often collaborating with leading orchestras and conductors worldwide. The EPCC’s discography boasts numerous acclaimed recordings, including multiple Grammy-nominated albums such as Arvo Pärt’s “Adam’s Lament” and “Te Deum.” Their commitment to artistic excellence has earned them prestigious awards like the Gramophone Award and the MIDEM Classical Award.
