The opening ceremony of the European Capital of Culture in Tartu on January 26 will be preceded and followed by lively celebrations in southern Estonia. To welcome the year of the capital of culture, the eight-member band Angus took to the stage in Võru, together with Võru-born Uku Suviste. DJ iDJa from Southern Saami warmed up the audience with techno and ambient beats.
The annual program of the Capital of Culture begins with the opening celebrations, which tells the story of the creative idea of the Arts of Survival: these are the knowledge, skills and values that will help us live better in the future.
