Watch again: 2024 Tartu Song and Dance Festival 'Õnn ja rõõm'

On June 22, more than 10,000 singers and musicians performed at the 2024 Tartu Song Festival "Õnn ja rõõm" ("Happiness and Joy"). You can now watch the concert again below.
The performance at Tartu Song Festival Grounds on Saturday were the culmination of the week-long Song and Dance Festival that began last Sunday.
The theme of the 2024 Tartu Song Festival was "happiness and joy." During the performance, questions related to that topic will be explored through music, including "Where can happiness be found?" "Can joy have more than one face?" and "Why is it important to talk about happiness and joy at all?"

At every stage of life, people feel these emotions a little differently, and often forget to notice them. Whether it's dancing, singing or playing an instrument, the magic of it all lies in the shared process of creation – whether that is in rehearsals, on the Song Festival Grounds and underneath the famous arch.
The Tartu Song Festival aims to remind Estonians of how lucky they are to be able to come together and sing their hearts out for themselves, their loved ones and their country.
The Song Festival's Artistic Director Küllike Joosing told ERR that Saturday evening's performance will include a combination of traditional and more recent compositions. Among the new pieces set to feature are a work written for boys' choirs by Arno Tamme, Rasmus Puuri's Song Festival theme song and Trad.Attack!'s "Tehke ruumi!"
