Dear Estonian rhythm music community,

We invite youth bands, soloists, and teachers to participate in the 24th Youth Rhythm Music Festival Visioon, taking place on June 5–6, 2026.

Register yourself as a participant! – REGISTER

The international youth rhythm music festival Visioon will once again take place on June 5–6, 2026!
The festival Visioon looks toward the future and is intended for young musicians engaged in rhythm music. Performers present music in a variety of contemporary styles. Original compositions and improvisation by young artists are also highly valued.
Within a year, young musicians develop and grow significantly. The festival is held annually to provide an overview of this progress and to maintain continuity.
The main objective of the Visioon festival is to support rhythm music education in Estonia, introduce talented young jazz musicians, and showcase new youth bands.
All festival participants will be introduced online at www.noortejazz.ee, and suitable performance conditions will be created for the concerts.
Concerts are supported by an enthusiastic audience. In addition to young performers, their instructors and internationally recognized musicians will also perform at the festival. These inspiring role models encourage and motivate young musicians, offering new ideas for their future development.

*Friday, June 5

For many young musicians, Visioon is their first rhythm music festival, where they take their initial steps. Many who started at Visioon can later be heard on major stages around the world.
The festival is organized by NGO Improviis. Cooperation partners include Saue Music School, the Estonian Rhythm Music Education Association, the Estonian Association of Music Schools, the 44th Tallinn Old Town Days, and rhythm music departments and educators from various hobby schools.
