Tartu Academic Male Choir - 113 years of male choir

Being the oldest male choir to have been continuously singing since the year 1912 (113 years ago), Tartu Academic Male Choir has established its honorable place in Estonian history and choir singing. The everlasting spirit has withstood all the difficulties the history has thrown on its way. 

Tartu Academic Male Choir (TAM) is the oldest active men’s chorus in Estonia. Since being established in 1912 it has been a pillar of culture during the brighter, as well as the darker times of the country’s history and has played a major role in developing and preserving male voice choir music. The 113 years of servitude has brought joy to thousands of listeners home and away, bringing the choir numerous high awards from different competitions. TAM has been the highest rated male voice choir in Estonia for the last 10 years (according to the local male voice choirs’ contest). The choir’s repertoire comprises very diverse music – classical male voice choir pieces play an important role, but contemporary music and folk music arrangements are also some of the favourites. The choir’s most beloved composers are probably maestros Veljo Tormis and Gustav Ernesaks, but maestro Alo Ritsing who has also stood in front of the choir for more than 50 years can not be left unnoticed – his music has a special place in TAM’s heart. A spark can also be seen in the singers’ eyes when opera choirs are being performed. During the years, many conductors have worked with the choir and as of now, the responsibility lies on the shoulders of Roland Viilukas, who started as a chief conductor only a year ago. Together with Made Ritsing, they stand for the high artistic level of the Tartu Academic Male Voice Choir.
