Estonian Youth Wind Orchestra Achieves Third Place at World Music Contest
The Estonian Youth Wind Orchestra (ENPO) secured third place in the inaugural youth division competition at the World Music Contest (WMC) in Kerkrade, the Netherlands. Known as the 'Olympic Games of Wind Music,' the competition featured 15 under-21 ensembles from eight countries. ENPO earned a combined score of 95.00 points, narrowly missing the top two spots, which were claimed by Colombian youth orchestras. The ensemble performed an arrangement of the Metsatöll song 'Mother's Voice is Calling.' Unlike many of its competitors, ENPO is a project orchestra that rehearses only a few times a year, rather than meeting weekly.
