Male Choir Homme (Estonia)

Male Choir Homme (Estonia), conductor Kuldar Schüts

The All-Estonian Male Choir “Homme” is a unique choir with deep roots in Estonian choral singing culture. The choir has grown from former singers of the boys’ choir “Kalev” and other boys’ choirs who carry on their love for music. The Male Choir “Homme” brings together singers from all over Estonia, offering them the opportunity to meet and practice about once a month. Their goal is to keep the traditions of Estonian choral music alive, while enriching them with new and contemporary interpretations. Each choir rehearsal and concert is the result of deep dedication and musical mastery. The choir is conducted by renowned conductors Kuldar Schüts and Ksenija Grabova, who with their rich experience and musical vision help the choir reach new heights.

Kuldar Schüts graduated with a magistracy cum laude from the Estonian Academy of Music and Theatre in 2012 in the conducting class of Professor Emeritus Ants Üleoja. He has sung in several professional choirs and vocal ensembles and participated in numerous musical projects. The young conductor currently works with five choirs. He is the conductor of the Engineers’ Male Choir, the EMLS All-Estonian Boys’ Choir Kalev, the Male Choir Homme, the Swedbank Mixed Choir and the Kalamaja Mixed Choir. Kuldar Schüts has been actively involved in the board of the Estonian Chamber Choirs Association and the Estonian Choir Conductors’ Association, as well as the Music Council of the Estonian Choir Association. He has sung in Vox Clamantis and the Estonian Philharmonic Chamber Choir, and in the Haapsalu Early Music Festival choir Studio Vocale.
