I have not been to Estonia, but several of my colleagues from the Portland Symphonic Choir have traveled to that country to sing in their massive choir festivals,, which can involve more than 50,000 singers in a big stadium. Imagine the Civic Stadium being filled with singers! Well, that would hold only 25,000 or so. In Estonia, singing means so much more.
