Winning an Etnokulp award (a big wooden ladle) was a surprise for flautist and composer Katariina Tirmaste. There she was, happily singing a runo song together with the audience at the Estonian Traditional Music Center in Viljandi… when all of a sudden her name was called out!
Of course, she’s very active as a musician, and in this episode of EstoCast, we hear about the:
🪈 the many projects and collaborations she’s been a part of—including Hypnosis Negative, which connects Canada and Estonia
🪈 the beauty of musical unison and the way phrasing and dynamics guide dancing
🪈 the multinational, spontaneous qualities of folk music
🪈 and much more!
