NB! THE CONCERT IS SOLD OUT!

To start off the new year Reval Folk is bringing together a duo of legendary Estonian folk musicians – Tiit Kikas and Peeter Rebane – who have not performed with each other in more than five years, but who performed at the Viljandi Folk Music Festival before it even started! Our opening act is Duo Ruut, who play the Estonian traditional instrument rahvakannel with four hands.

On this evening we will build a bridge between different generations of folk musicians.

For the first time in the history of Reval Folk technical equipment will be used during our concert to honour the fact that Tiit Kikas was the first musician in Estonia to use an electric violin and looper in his music.

PEETER REBANE and TIIT KIKAS

are musicians from Tallinn who have contributed to the life of Estonian folk music for more than 20 years with groups like Folkmill and Dagö. Both artists have cooperated with several Estonian and foreign artists, participated in many musical initiatives and completed solo projects. Peeter Rebane and Tiit Kikas will perform at this Reval Folk event after a five-year hiatus. They will play older acoustic tunes as well as newer pieces from recent years.

DUO RUUT

The introductory act is Duo Ruut, two young women (Ann-Lisett Rebane and Katariina Kivi) from Tallinn’s Old Town School (Vanalinna Hariduskolleegium) who have won an amazing number of awards during their few years of existence. They play a traditional Estonian instrument, the rahvakannel, with four hands.
