Tour of the Viljandi Traditional Music Center

Take a closer look at Viljandi’s Traditional Music Center, near the castle ruins in the heart of Viljandi, a UNESCO Creative City.

During the tour, you can walk through different levels of the center. We will visit the large and small concert halls, the fireplace hall, a collection of traditional music information, and the basement floor, where there are performers’ dressing rooms that guests usually don’t get to see.

We will tell you both about the building’s fascinating creation story and how the Traditional Music Center is filled with life year-round, including concerts, workshops, and cultural events.

The center also houses one of Estonia’s richest collections of medieval sculpture, which gives an idea of the depth of Viljandi’s cultural heritage.

During the tour, we will discuss what Viljandi’s membership in UNESCO’s Creative City Network means and how the center contributes to the preservation, presentation, and continuation of local heritage.

Viljandi’s Traditional Music Center is not just a concert venue; it is a vibrant cultural center that links traditional music and folk art to everyday life.
