The heart of Trumpet Days has always been the bond between generations. At Pärnu Concert Hall, great masters and the youngest musicians unite on stage, from first-year beginners to advanced high school performers. Chris Sommer (Pärnu City Orchestra, Estonian National Opera), Priit Aimla (Estonian National Opera), and festival artistic director Neeme Ots lead students through virtuoso solos and captivating ensemble works. A wonderful opportunity to enjoy music with the whole family, where the brilliance of trumpet masters and the dedication of young talents create an unforgettable atmosphere.

A musical morning where curiosity meets world-class artistry, designed for families who love to explore together. International Trumpet Days invites music lovers of all ages to an interactive celebration where brilliant brass music, playful discovery, and hands-on learning come alive. In collaboration with Viimsi Music School, we've created an experience where restless energy is welcomed. Hans Petter Stangnes, legendary Norwegian virtuoso and celebrated children's pedagogue, performs alongside beloved Viimsi maestros Neeme Ots and Jaan Mesi. Beyond the performance, an exciting instrument exhibition from Stomvi and Schagerl awaits curious hands. Children can explore and play world-class instruments under expert guidance.

Experience a rare musical convergence where Nordic brilliance, cinematic grandeur, and contemporary Estonian composition unite. Under the artistic direction of Norwegian trumpet virtuoso Hans Petter Stangnes (Trondheim Philharmonic, Nordic Brass Ensemble), the acclaimed Tallinn Brass Academy presents masterworks by Nordic composers alongside film music classics specially arranged by Stangnes for brass ensemble. The evening's centerpiece is the world premiere of a trumpet concerto by Estonian composer Valeri Petrov, woven from Estonian folk themes. Written for two solo trumpets and brass ensemble, this dedicated work honors trumpeter Neeme Ots, who performs alongside Spanish virtuoso and Yamaha Artist José Cháfer Mompó. Petrov's composition seamlessly intertwines Estonian folk motifs with his personal musical language, a sensitive and refined voice that showcases his deep instrumental intuition. Special guest performance: competition winner Patricio Martín Fernández (Trumpet Talents 2025 Laureate).

For the first time, the festival's grand finale takes place in Võru, bringing international artistry to Estonia's culturally rich south. International competition laureates join festival stars and beloved local brass ensembles from Võrumaa in a festive celebration conducted by José Antonio Page Ramirez. This historic concert unites world-class soloists with regional talent, honoring the best Estonian participant from the Trumpet Talents Tallinn competition. Võru's intimate Kannel concert hall provides the perfect setting for this culmination of two weeks of musical excellence, demonstrating the festival's commitment to bringing international culture to every corner of Estonia.
