Klassikaraadio and Raadio 2 have invited well-known musicians to assess and analyze this year’s Estonian Song Contest entries in a studio session this Sunday. On Klassikaraadio's music journalism show "Pähklipureja," guests Maria Listra, Rasmus Puur, and Vaiko Eplik will explore the contest songs through the lenses of music theory and the principles of bel canto. This initiative represents a significant engagement in promoting local music and providing insights into its artistic quality.

Vaiko Eplik, a singer and songwriter who participated in Eurovision with the band Ruffus in 2003, expresses his enthusiasm for the Estonian Song Contest, describing it as a unique annual opportunity for Estonian taxpayers to catch a glimpse of the current state of Estonian pop music. Eplik's comments reflect a personal investment in the festival, suggesting that he actively encourages his social circles to engage with the contest songs. His reflections emphasize the cultural importance of the event as a platform for both emerging and established artists.

Raadio 2 will continue the conversation on the same topic with a special program titled "Experts and Observers: Estonian Song" airing at 1 PM on the same day. This coordinated coverage by both radio stations highlights the collaborative effort to foster a deeper appreciation of local music and to provide listeners with expert opinions and commentary, enriching the overall experience of the Estonian Song Contest.
