Thousands of Estonians sing “Oi u luzi chervona kalyna” in support of Ukraine

On Sunday evening, thousands of singers from all over Estonia gathered at Tallinn's historic Song Festival Grounds to perform the Ukrainian national song "Red on the Meadow". The song was adapted into a four-part choir song by composer Jonas Tarm and conducted by Hirvo Surva. Choral singing has always been a powerful cultural phenomenon that Estonians have repeatedly used in their own fight for freedom. Now Estonia sings in support of Ukraine.
