The Tartu Boys’ Choir was founded in 1961 by the conductor Uno Uiga. The boys who sing in the choir mostly come from the choir school of Tartu Karlova School but there are also boys from other schools of Tartu. The repertoire includes the best pieces of the contemporary and classical choral music written by Estonian as well as the composers of other nations.
