Chamber Choir Head Ööd, Vend
Chamber Choir Head Ööd, Vend is an Estonian chamber choir. The chief conductor of the choir is the Estonian composer Pärt Uusberg. The choir got its start in March 2008, when Pärt Uusberg called together a project choir to take part in his brother's Uku Uusberg's diploma production "Good night, Brother" (in Estonian "Head ööd, Vend"), based on William Shakespeare. After the last performance in autumn 2008, the desire to sing together had not waned and a decision was made to continue as a regular choir. The core of the choir consists of singers who grew up together singing in Rapla Riinimanda choirs, conducted by Urve Uusberg, along with friends from the Estonian Youth Mixed Choir and young music students. The choir has been a laboratory for the young conductor and composer since its beginnings and still performs a lot of Uusberg's music. The choir has given many concerts in Rapla, Tallinn, Tartu and other Estonian churches and also in Gotland at the St. Mary's Cathedra ...

William Shakespeare
William Shakespeare ( 26 April 1564 – 23 April 1616) was an English playwright, poet and actor. He is widely regarded as the greatest writer in the English language and the world's pre-eminent dramatist. He is often called England's national poet and the " Bard of Avon" (or simply "the Bard"). His extant works, including collaborations, consist of some 39 plays, 154 sonnets, three long narrative poems, and a few other verses, some of uncertain authorship. His plays have been translated into every major living language and are performed more often than those of any other playwright. He remains arguably the most influential writer in the English language, and his works continue to be studied and reinterpreted. Shakespeare was born and raised in Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwickshire. At the age of 18, he married Anne Hathaway, with whom he had three children: Susanna, and twins Hamnet and Judith. Sometime between 1585 and 1592, he began a successful career in London as an ...
