The choir “Läte”

Where do we come from?
Kambja is a small town with 2000 inhabitants the hilly landscape of southern Estonia. The distance to the capital Tallinn is about 220 kilometers.


The history
The founding of the choir is very closely linked to the movement of the Moravian Brethren in Estonia. Kambja was the center of the Brethren community in the 18th century. In 1794, in the municipality of Kambja Church songs are performed alternately by men’s, women’s and children’s choirs. The current choir is based on this polyphony, which came from the parish and the children’s choir.


The repertoire
Our repertoire is broad and includes both secular and sacred choral music. The singers Our choir members make the choir unique. Although we all work in different areas of life, we are still a singing and dancing community.
The most important domestic event for choirs is the Singing Festival, which takes place in Tallinn every five years. Not all choirs can take part there with 60,000 other singers. It is a correspondingly great honor for a choir to be able to take part.
