Eller Girls’ Choir
The Eller Girls’ Choir first came together in 2010 when a choir studio was established at Heino Eller Tartu Music College.
In addition to the concert events in school and the City of Tartu, the most important performances of the Eller Girls’ Choir include participations in international choir competitions, which have brought renown to both Estonia, the City of Tartu and the Heino Eller Tartu Music College.
