    A message from the EP2016 committee

    My usual day is not very exciting.
    I wake up each morning, and pack the children off to school, then I hope or more like pray my car starts. After this there is always the concern of where I am due to work that day, eventually I can relax with a nice cup of freshly brewed coffee, nothing like the smell of ground coffee beans. Generally I enjoy a ‘Flat White’, occasionally I’ll go with a ‘double shot, Skinny Latté’ but unfortunately I often have to endure the Nescafe caterers’ blend… I’m sure your day is far more interesting than mine, and if you are reading this then you more than likely have something to do with the Australian Estonian community. That already makes you interesting and by whatever means connected to one of Europe’s most fascinating cultures.

    The preserved Medieval architecture, the invention of Skype, world wife carrying champions, high tech education in schools, on-line voting, a female president, The Eurovision Song competitions the list goes on. All of you that are reading this article will have a different connection with the ‘Old Country’ whether you have immigrated here in the early 1950’s or more recently, been born to Estonian parents or married the dreaded Estonian. What brings us together and releases us from our day to day existence is the knowledge that we can share this magnificent culture. We all have different backgrounds and friends but the cement that binds us are the wonderful stories and cultural activities that Estonians can bring to us! Nothing better than teaching an Australian how to say ‘Happy New Year’ in Estonian or for that matter ‘Cheers’ in Estonian!

    This December we have the great opportunity to take part in and witness a unique event, which has been evolving since the early 1950’s. The Australian Estonian Festival is on every 2 to 3 years and is usually held in Adelaide, Melbourne or Sydney. This year it is Adelaide’s turn and the committee landed a major coup in the fact that Mr Iivo Tuul agreed to act as the chairman, he has brought a wealth of experience and respect to this event. Preparations have been moving along for the last 18 months, so there is a great chance to experience a connection with ‘Eesti’ right here in Adelaide, Australia.

    Visitors to Adelaide can expect a great range of events at the Estonian Festival Hub at ‘Kalev on Jeffcott’ or the Adelaide Estonian Hall (Eesti Maja) in North Adelaide, which is 10 minutes from the CBD. Have you heard of the term “Ten Minute Tallinn”? Well in Adelaide nothing is further than 20 minutes away, there is no traffic in Adelaide, most of Australia’s wine comes from here and everything is inexpensive, but keep this quiet, those of us that live here, like it that way.

    What are the highlights of this festival?
    Well where does one start? The Noorkuu A’Cappella performers, the VAT Theatre, the Magic Strings all from Estonia are the must not miss events. The Arts and Craft Exhibition, the Choir and Folkdancing event, the Song Festival workshop, a sports challenge, the opening night and New Years Eve Ball are also major draw cards. For me it will be sitting in North Adelaide and sharing my stories with you over a quiet cup of coffee or other beverage, enjoying the antics of the famous bar staff at ‘Kalev on Jeffcott’. What outfits will Thomas Sarapuu manage to fit into?

    Looking forward to seeing you all in Adelaide from December the 27th until the 31st, for more

    australian RICK, RICK, YOU OLD…

    Waiters were important people back in the day, in the Soviet times. Life was all right; there was always a queue behind the door, money was easy to get. By the time the Euro arrived Gunn was already a grey senseless loser still standing in his bar.

    And then an apprentice is appointed to him! Gunn suddenly becomes a teacher! Hell! This makes him think. How does life go and where did it all begin? Gunn also had grand plans. Dreams? Perhaps, who knows? He had a wife and even a few friends.

    Actually it is clear what is important. But the apprentice is a kind kid who knows nothing about life, and has great hopes. Just like Gunn himself, a long time ago. The lesson begins…

    estonian GUNN, GUNN, VANA…

    VAT Teatris esietendub Kivastiku „Gunn, Gunn, vana …” Täna jõuab Rahvusraamatukogu Teatrisaalis publiku ette Mart Kivastiku kirjutatud ja lavastatud näitemäng „Gunn, Gunn, vana …”. Lugu jutustab Gunnist, elupõlisest baarimehest.

    Rublaajal, kui Gunn oli veel noor, olid kelnerid tähtsad. Elu oli okei, järjekord oli ukse taga, pappi oli jalaga segada. Euroajaks on Gunn juba vana hall mõttetu mees, seisab endiselt oma kohal baarileti taga.

    Ja siis määratakse talle õpilane! Gunnist saab ühtäkki pedagoog! Põrguvärk! See paneb mõtlema! Isegi juurdlema. Kuidas elu käib ja millest kõik algas? Et ka temal olid suured plaanid! Unistused?! Vist küll, aga ei mäleta. Tal oli naine ja isegi mõned sõbrad. Tollel ammusel Smokie’ ajal.

    Tegelikult on ju selge, mis on tähtis. Juhtugu, mis juhtub, aga ühte asja ei tohi unustada, see on… ja saabubki õpilane. Õpilane on armas juntsu, ei tea elust tuhkagi, suurte lootustega. Täpselt Gunn ise, kunagi ammu. Tund algab. Elu muutub.

    Loo autor ja lavastaja on Mart Kivastik, kellele see on ka esimene lavastajatöö teatris. Kunstnik on Silver Vahtre ja valguskunstnik Sander Põllu. Gunni rollis on Tõnu Oja (külalisena Eesti Draamateatrist) ja kõiki ülejäänud osi täidab Tiit Sukk (Eesti Draamateater).

    australian Võlukeeled/Magic Strings

    As part of the Estonian Festival we will see performances from a violin ensemble ‘Magic Strings’, which was formed in 2012. They started with a small quartet and today play with an ensemble of 26 children aged 3-22. Children learn to play the violin by the Suzuki method.

    Their repertoire allows them to explore different music genres (classical, pop, music from various countries, etc). The children in the ensemble are at various levels and enjoy the excitement and fun it offers. Each year the ensemble produces one or two different productions (a medley, operatic arias, tangos, Disney films, musicals, Phantom of the Opera, ABBA and Estonian movie musical medley).[/fusion_text][/one_half][one_half last=”yes” spacing=”yes” center_content=”no” hide_on_mobile=”no” background_color=”” background_image=”” background_repeat=”no-repeat” background_position=”left top” hover_type=”none” link=”” border_position=”all” border_size=”0px” border_color=”” border_style=”” padding=”” margin_top=”” margin_bottom=”” animation_type=”” animation_direction=”” animation_speed=”0.1″ animation_offset=”” class=”” id=””][fusion_text]

    estonian Võlukeeled/Magic Strings

    Viiuldajate ansambel Võlukeeled on loodud Vanalinna Muusikakoolis 2012 aastal. Alustasime väikse kvartetina, ent tänaseks mängib ansamblis 26 last vanuses 3-22. Lapsed õpivad viiulimängu Suzuki meetodi järgi. Lisaks erialatunnile käib iga Suzuki meetodil õppiv noor muusik ansamblitundides. Nii ka meie.

    Repertuaar, mida me mängime, lubab meil tutvuda erinevate muusika žanritega (klassika, pop, erinevate rahvaste muusika). Ansamblis saavad koos  mängida  lapsed, kellel on erinev ettevalmistus. Koos mängida on põnev ning see pakub rõõmu. Meie eripäraks on, et valmistame igal aastal ühe või kaks erinevat popurriid (olemas: rahvaste popurrii, ooperiaariad, tangod, Disney filmide muusika, Ooperifantoom, ABBA. Kohe alustame eesti filmimuusika popurrii õppimist).[/fusion_text][/one_half][/fullwidth][fullwidth background_color=”” background_image=”” background_parallax=”none” enable_mobile=”no” parallax_speed=”0.3″ background_repeat=”no-repeat” background_position=”left top” video_url=”” video_aspect_ratio=”16:9″ video_webm=”” video_mp4=”” video_ogv=”” video_preview_image=”” overlay_color=”” overlay_opacity=”0.5″ video_mute=”yes” video_loop=”yes” fade=”no” border_size=”0px” border_color=”” border_style=”solid” padding_top=”20″ padding_bottom=”20″ padding_left=”” padding_right=”” hundred_percent=”no” equal_height_columns=”no” hide_on_mobile=”no” menu_anchor=”” class=”” id=””][one_full last=”yes” spacing=”yes” center_content=”no” hide_on_mobile=”no” background_color=”” background_image=”” background_repeat=”no-repeat” background_position=”left top” hover_type=”none” link=”” border_position=”all” border_size=”0px” border_color=”” border_style=”” padding=”” margin_top=”” margin_bottom=”” animation_type=”” animation_direction=”” animation_speed=”0.1″ animation_offset=”” class=”” id=””][images picture_size=”auto” hover_type=”none” autoplay=”yes” columns=”1″ column_spacing=”” scroll_items=”” show_nav=”yes” mouse_scroll=”no” border=”yes” lightbox=”yes” class=”” id=””][image link=”” linktarget=”_self” image=”https://adelaide.eesti.org.au/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/MagicStrings6_Web.jpg” alt=”Võlukeeled/’Magic Strings’_ensemble”][image link=”” linktarget=”_self” image=”https://adelaide.eesti.org.au/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/magic_strings_5_web.jpg” alt=”Võlukeeled/’Magic Strings’”][/images][/one_full][/fullwidth][fullwidth background_color=”” background_image=”” background_parallax=”none” enable_mobile=”no” parallax_speed=”0.3″ background_repeat=”no-repeat” background_position=”left top” video_url=”” video_aspect_ratio=”16:9″ video_webm=”” video_mp4=”” video_ogv=”” video_preview_image=”” overlay_color=”” overlay_opacity=”0.5″ video_mute=”yes” video_loop=”yes” fade=”no” border_size=”0px” border_color=”” border_style=”” padding_top=”20″ padding_bottom=”20″ padding_left=”” padding_right=”” hundred_percent=”no” equal_height_columns=”no” hide_on_mobile=”no” menu_anchor=”” class=”” id=””][one_full last=”yes” spacing=”yes” center_content=”no” hide_on_mobile=”no” background_color=”” background_image=”” background_repeat=”no-repeat” background_position=”left top” hover_type=”none” link=”” border_position=”all” border_size=”0px” border_color=”” border_style=”” padding=”” margin_top=”” margin_bottom=”” animation_type=”” animation_direction=”” animation_speed=”0.1″ animation_offset=”” class=”” id=””][youtube id=”https://youtu.be/o9SCSECaDdU” width=”600″ height=”350″ autoplay=”yes” api_params=”” class=””][/youtube][/one_full][/fullwidth]
