Today we travel to Tallinn, Estonia, and we have the honor of speaking to the wonderfully humble and fascinating composer known for his choral, and string works, Tõnu Kõrvits. We talk to him about how he started creating his style of music, favorite rock bands, growing up in the USSR, being an Estonian composer, and highlighting some of his music!
