In recent posts from Estonian Music Week, composer and musician Mari Kalkun has been described as a folklorist, storyteller, and sorceress. And it’s important to know why.
In the new episode of EstoCast, hosted by Vincent Teetsov, we’ve asked about specific stories, folklore, and magic that her music has been guided by. This includes the deeper meaning of the apple orchard at her home.
Tune in to hear about:
🌳 past EMW artists she has formed a musical community with
🌳 the memorable home concerts she has performed in Japan
🌳 the unexpected technique of playing the kannel, one of the numerous instruments she plays
🌳 and much more!
