The XXXVIII International Niguliste Organ Week
The Niguliste Museum has the most important collection of medieval and early modern art in Estonia, and it has also been the venue for a lot of music. In 1987, Andres Uibo initiated the Niguliste Organ Week, which grew into the Tallinn International Organ Festival. With its long tradition, the festival is one of the landmark events of the Niguliste Museum and has been held again in recent years under its original name. The festival has been organised in cooperation with the International Society of Artur Kapp.
The XXXVIII International Niguliste Organ Week, c will feature evening concerts and a daily programme showcasing the finest works of medieval and early modern art, accompanied by music.
