The international youth rhythm music festival Visioon will be held for the twenty-second time this year!
The 2024 festival Visioon is a fresh view of the future of youth rhythm music. The program of the festival is very versatile, various modern music styles are represented and a lot of jazz music is played, which is made especially exciting by the youth's creation and improvisation!
In one year, young people change and develop a lot musically - that's why it's important to observe this learning from the sidelines, and the festival must be organized every year to maintain continuity.
The main goal of the festival is to support Estonian rhythm music education and to introduce young talented jazz musicians and new youth bands. Also, simply to popularize different styles of modern rhythm music, thereby giving young people the opportunity to perform in proper
conditions, together with professionals. Young people want to play their favorite songs for the audience!
Together with the young people, their tutors and already widely known soloists also take the stage. Performing on the same stage with professionals is a great motivator for young people. Performing with living role models encourages one to develop further.
The concerts of young bands will take place on June 1, 2024, as part of the Youth Day of Saue Municipality, on the square of Saue city center, on an open-air stage set up for this purpose. On June 2nd at the Philly Joe's Club in Vabaduse Square in Tallinn.
Extraordinary is the new project prepared on Saturday, June 1 within the framework of Visioon - the Visioon Street Dance Show performance. The musicians' open-air stage concerts and the dancers' performances are connected through a street dance show. The director of the said project is Russell Adamson, who is a recognized dancer, choreographer, and teacher in many theaters in Finland. His courses and master classes in special styles of ballet and modern dance (lyrical, jazz, show, and hip-hop dance) are appreciated in universities around the world.
On Sunday, June 2, many different youth bands from Estonia and elsewhere will perform at Philly Joe's Club. Musicians from the rhythm music departments of several music schools will come on stage. New exciting projects will be realized, and vibrant original creations and classic standards will be heard.
Especially for Visioon, already professional musicians are also preparing new joint projects to inspire such young musicians with their playing together. Making music together is an experience for both newcomers and veterans. As is well known, several professionals have taken their first steps and started their musical careers at the Visioon festival. It is a great pleasure to listen to their performances on big festival stages both in Estonia and in foreign countries around the world!
The festival is organized by the NGO Improviis in cooperation with the rhythm music departments of Saue Music School, Rhythm Music Education Union, and Estonian Music Schools Union.
Come and listen, get to know young people's creations and live rhythm music!
