The Estonian Philharmonic Chamber Choir (Eesti Filharmoonia Kammerkoor) was founded in 1981 by Tõnu Kaljuste, its principal conductor and artistic director until 2001, when he invited conductor Paul Hillier to take over the post. The Choir has an extensive repertoire ranging from Gregorian chant to twentieth-century music, with special emphasis on Estonian composers, includung Arvo Pärt and Veljo Tormis. The Choir tours regularly in Europe, the United States, Canada, Japan, and Australlia. In addition to concertising, the Choir has made numerous recordings, many of which have received the highest critical acclaim, including five Grammy nominations. The Estonian Philharmonic Chamber Choir works with many world-class conductors and orchestras, and has a long-standing partnership with the Tallinn Chamber Orchestra.
