Projekti tulemused

As a result of coordinated efforts, so far, we have recorded 5 songs from this year’s Laulupidu, namely: 1) Koit, 2) Laulik, 3) Meelespea, 4) Mis need ohjad meida hoidvad, and 5) Mu isamaa on minu arm, which can be seen on YouTube.  We are planning to record videos of 7 more songs, as well as an interview with Raul Talmar.  We hope these videos help preserving and promoting the Estonian cultural heritage, as well as contributing to the school’s presence in the country.
