Thousands of people across Estonia on Friday took part in a landmark virtual choir festival, gathering in front of big screens to sing the small Baltic state’s cherished anthems. Organisers said crowds massed at over a hundred open-air locations in this nation of 1.3 million people to perform eight songs under the baton of conductors — one per song — beamed from a real concert venue in Poltsamaa, central Estonia. Footage from the locations was also fed via the Internet, in a nod to Estonia’s thriving hi-tech industry which has won it the nickname “E-Stonia”.
