Fostering the next generation of Estonian musicians, note by note.
Meie Lugu ja Missioon
Our Story and Mission
Based in the heart of Rakvere, the Virumaa Noorteorkestri Selts was born from a simple yet powerful belief: that orchestral music is a vital force for nurturing young talent, building community, and enriching our shared Estonian culture. We are more than just an orchestra; we are a society dedicated to creating a vibrant space where young musicians can learn, collaborate, and grow.
Our mission is to provide high-quality musical education and unforgettable performance opportunities, empowering youth to discover their potential, master their instruments, and contribute their voices to the national soundscape. Though small in scale, our passion and dedication create ripples of impact felt across the region and in the soul of Estonia's most cherished cultural events.

Orkestriproovid ja Koolitus
Orchestra Rehearsals and Training
The foundation of our society is consistent, dedicated practice. We organize regular rehearsals under the guidance of experienced conductors and mentors, focusing on technical skill, musical interpretation, and the unique synergy of playing as an ensemble.
Kontserdiprojektid ja Esinemised
Concert Projects and Performances
We believe music is meant to be shared. Our members participate in a diverse range of concert projects, from intimate local gatherings in Lääne-Virumaa to large-scale national festivals. Each performance is a goal that sharpens focus and a celebration of our collective effort.
Kultuurikoostöö
Cultural Collaborations
Music connects us. We actively seek out partnerships with other cultural organizations, such as our joint rehearsals and concerts with the Mulgi youth orchestra at the historic Sagadi Manor. These collaborations broaden our members' horizons and strengthen Estonia's cultural network.
Lava Kutse: Our National Stage
We are proud to be active contributors to Estonia's rich cultural tapestry. Our orchestra doesn't just practice in a room; we take our music to the nation's most significant stages.
A highlight was our participation in the 2025 Estonian Song and Dance Festival's instrumental procession "Iseoma," a culmination of a year of dedicated workshops and preparations.
We have graced the stages of Viru Folk in Käsmu and participated in the National Folk Houses Summer School in Jäneda, standing shoulder-to-shoulder with artists from across the country and proving that the heart of Estonian music beats strongly in its youth.
Virumaa Rütmid: Our Local Heartbeat
While we perform on national stages, our roots are firmly planted in Virumaa. We are a part of the local cultural life, bringing music to our friends and neighbors.
