Traditional music, as creative producer and musician Lee Taul says, is a foundation that can be built upon with one’s own ideas, personality, and creativity. As her colleague Margit Kuhi, in charge of ETHNO Estonia, explains, there’s not a separation of old and new. What’s traditional and what’s cutting edge work together. These are the kinds of philosophies at play in Viljandi at the Estonian Traditional Music Center, the organizers of ETHNO camps for youth and adults and Viljandi Folk Music Festival ( @viljandifolk ). In the latest episode of EstoCast, we hear from these leaders about: 🎻The method in which music is taught by ear at the centre 🪗How participants find their ideal roles in the music world or skills for other occupations 🏛️The value of community for musicians amidst the individualistic approach of music today 🎵and much more!

EstoCasti viienda hooaja esimeses eestikeelses episoodis räägime Eesti esimese riigiarhitekti Tõnis Arjusega, kes külastas hiljuti Torontot, et osa võtta KESKUSe avapidustustest. Visiidi jooksul tutvus ta ka Tartu College’i ja VEMU tegemistega, osales legendaarses Metsaülikoolis ja kohtus oma Kanada kolleegidega. Vestluses kuulete, millise mulje jättis suurlinn Toronto, millised on linnaplaneerimise ja linnade tihendamisega seotud väljakutsed ning kuidas kasvatada linnu nii, et säiliks elukeskkonna kvaliteet. Muidugi räägime ka eestlusest. Värskes saates kuulete: - kuidas tihendada kiiresti kasvavat linna nii, et rohkem elamispinda ei tähendaks lihtsalt rohkem ja kõrgemaid maju, vaid tõepoolest paremat elukeskkonda; - milline on Eesti riigiarhitetki roll; - kas Eestil oleks midagi õppida Toronto linnaplaneerimise kogemustest või ehk hoopis vastupidi; - milline on olnud väliseesti arhitektide panus Toronto linnaruumi arengusse; - millisena näeb Tõnis väliseestluse tulevikku.

Welcome to the 5th season of EstoCast! 🥳 The music of Olaf Kopvillem may depict one man’s story and experience at face value, but it also shows a more universal refugee experience in the sense that a lot of post Second World War refugees would have had similar thoughts, journeys, and circumstances. Conveying that to us in an exhibit at VEMU Estonian Museum Canada and now at the beginning of the fifth season of EstoCast is Olaf’s granddaughter Keila Kopvillem. As we lead up to the exhibit’s opening on September 19th, listen to EstoCast to hear what went into telling the story of a key cultural figure.

Haldi Välimäe on eesti muusik ja laulukirjutaja, kes on juba noorest peale olnud muusikaga seotud ning sellest ümbritsetud. Ta mitte ei saanud muusikuks, vaid sündis selleks. Haldi tunneb huvi ka väliseesti muusika ning kultuuripärandi vastu ja on seda uurinud. Muusika on tema jaoks palju enamat kui lihtsalt helid, kuuleme Haldi reisist ja esinemistest lähitulevikus Kanadas, Eesti Abistamiskomitee 75. aastapäeva pidustusel. Aga saame ka teada, mida võib muusika öelda inimese kohta.   Saate teada:  🎶 milline on Haldi loominguline protsess 🎶 millised esinejad ja muusikažanrid on teda kõige rohkem mõjutanud ning kellega ta sooviks tulevikus koostööd teha 🎶 mida Haldi arvab tehisaru rollist muusikas 🎶 milline repertuaar tuleb märtsis Torontos esitamisele Saates mainiti:  - Eesti Abistamiskomitee Kanadas (EAK) 75. aastapäevast: https://eestielu.ca/et/lets-celebrate-erc-75/ - EAK 75 piletid: https://estonianrelief.org/buy-lets-celebrate-tickets-here/ - Estonian Funk Embassy plaadifirma: https://funkembassy.eu/ - Haldi Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/haldi.muusika/?hl=en - Haldi 2017 plaat “Raba”: https://www.discogs.com/release/13644163-Haldi-Raba?srsltid=AfmBOopJ5-YVtCI8sqyuscDcfJS1N36tLeYCt3q1Bj9zfbv8IgQnSrjj - Vaiko Epliku plaadikogumik “Esto-Muusika: Ulgu-Eesti Leviplaadid 1958-1988”: https://www.discogs.com/release/7148956-Various-Esto-Muusika-Ulgu-Eesti-Leviplaadid-1958-1988?srsltid=AfmBOoolHrmMKZh_LJ0OS_fYTXlnE6OHMsmHZ7IjLgkqnUHoAo-_kWID - Estonian Funk Embassy Marju Kuudi kogumik “Üksi, kuid vabana”: https://funkembassy.eu/product/marju-kuut-uksi-kuid-vabana-lp/ Socials: ➡️ @estonianmusicweek          https://www.facebook.com/EstonianMusicWeek   ➡️ https://www.facebook.com/vemu.ca ➡️ @eestielu.ca         https://www.facebook.com/eestielu.ca/events ➡️ @vemu.emc        https://www.facebook.com/vemu.ca

In her research, Dr. Kaia Tombak has challenged long-held assumptions in evolutionary biology, such as the idea that male mammals are always larger than females.  As she describes it, there is a significant proportion of animal species in which males and females are typically the same size, or where females are larger. And this is just one of the discoveries she has made as a biologist, through work in the field and at universities, across Africa and North America. In this episode of EstoCast, hear about: 🦓the technology Kaia has used to photograph and analyze the movements of zebras 🐒the egalitarian societies of red colobus monkeys in Uganda 🌅humans as an integrated part of the animal kingdom 🦈and much more!

Lea Kreinini nimi on paljudele Toronto eestlasele tuttav, kuna ta on mõnda aega siin meie seas elanud ja saadab nüüd Eestist kaastöid ajalehele Eesti Elu. Lea on pidanud huvitavaid ameteid - ta on õpetanud eesti keelt võõrkeelena, tegutsenud giidi, tõlkija ja kirjanikuna. Ta on elanud ka Ungaris ja Šotimaal, lüües kõikjal kaasa eesti kultuurielus ja hariduslikes ettevõtmistes. Meie värskes saates kuuletegi Lea seikluslikust elukäigust ja arvukatest tegemistest, aga jätkuva raamatuaasta puhul räägime ka lugemisest, kirjutamisest ja kirjandusest üldse.  Saates kuulete: 📕 kuidas Least sai esmalt suur raamatusõber ja viimaks ka kirjanik 📗 milliseid kogemusi on pakkunud elu võõrsil 📘  kuidas keelteoskus avardab lugeja maailmapilti ja lugemine toetab keeleoskuse omandamist  📙 kui lihtne või raske on kirjutada raamatut omaenda elust Saates mainiti: - Lea Kreinin, “Minu Ungari”: https://petroneprint.ee/raamatud/minu-ungari-2/ - Lea Kreinin, “Kõik algab kassist”: https://www.apollo.ee/et/koik-algab-kassist-lihtne-lugemine-alates-a2-tasemest.html - Magda Szabó: https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/5168929.Magda_Szab_ - Lilli Luuk: https://headread.ee/en/guest/lilli-luuk-2/ - Sven Mikser, “Vareda”: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/200725595-vareda - Krisztina Toth “Piksel”: https://rahvaraamat.ee/et/raamatud/ilukirjandus/kaasaegne-ilukirjandus/e-raamat-piksel/1848691 Socials: ➡️ @estonianmusicweek          https://www.facebook.com/EstonianMusicWeek   ➡️ https://www.facebook.com/vemu.ca ➡️ @eestielu.ca         https://www.facebook.com/eestielu.ca/events ➡️ @vemu.emc        https://www.facebook.com/vemu.ca
