The Sonorous Sounds of the Organs of Saaremaa 2016

Saaremaa Island
Estonian islands are mystical places, full of interesting creatures. For example, on the Saaremaa island, there is said to live a huge being, called Suur Tõll. But no one has seen him for a long time, so maybe he has gone abroad with a work and study visa or something. Now there is a classical music festival held there, that includes five concerts in in five medieval churches. Might just be that these sounds will help call Suur Tõll back home. Lets hope so.
