ESTONIAN FOLK ORCHESTRA
Estonian Folk Orchestra is a wild and unexpected musical dream which was initiated by Tuulikki Bartosik as a joint project between 33 Estonian musicians and Swedish saxophonist and composer Jonas Knutsson in 2011. Now the orchestra is performing in a chamber orchestra setting which is still astonishing in their sound nuances and musical stories. 
Estonian Folk Orchestra  is a dynamic mixture of different and unthinkable instruments and personalities. All musicians share their interest in traditional music playing and singing, melting the old melodies into modern versatile music. You can hear all kind of stories in EFOs music: some of the tunes are written down in traditional sheet arrangements, some are created from scratch in rehearsals and some are getting their final form during live performances. EFO makes music happen right in front of listeners eyes and ears and takes you to the musical wonderland you never knew existed. 

EFOs CD Imemaa/Wonderland was released on the 25th of February 2014.
