The International Youth Rhythm Music Festival Vision takes place every year in Tallinn and Saue, Estonia. The festival is a musical vision of the future, created for young musicians inspired by rhythm music, jazz, improvisation, and original music.
The festival was founded in 2003, when the pop-jazz department was established at Saue Music School under the direction of Iljo Toming. Over the years, Vision has become a meeting place for young soloists, ensembles, and big bands from music schools, hobby schools, colleges, and universities in Estonia and abroad.
Vision supports rhythm music education in Estonia, introduces talented young jazz musicians and new youth bands, and helps maintain continuity in the field. Young musicians develop greatly from year to year, and the festival offers a chance to hear where they are in their musical journey right now.

In addition to concerts, workshops and jam sessions are held whenever possible, giving young musicians the opportunity to learn from professionals and experience the joy of playing together in an inspiring atmosphere. Young performers also share the stage with their teachers and renowned musicians, whose example encourages, inspires, and gives them new ideas for moving forward.
For many young musicians, Vision is their first rhythm music festival and a place where they take their first steps. Many performers who started at Vision can later be heard on major stages in Estonia and around the world.

Enjoy the Vision Festival!
