Come to the forest, be enchanted by the sweet song of the Nightingale and discover the story these exceptionally rare birds tell about our ancient and wondrous relationship with nature.
Our evening begins gathered at the fireside, where welcome drinks await. Before dusk approaches, we’ll be led on a short ecological tour experiencing and unravelling the evening chorus and discovering the rich biodiversity of our rewilded site. Returning to the warmth of the campfire, a two-course vegan dinner awaits accompanied by a delicious selection of hot and cold drinks to suit all tastes.
As night falls, we'll share in traditional folklore, Nightingale histories, and songs before embarking on a silent walk through the darkness to find our singers. Here, under a blanket of stars, you'll witness our signature human-avian musical collaboration – a breathtaking interaction between Sam, our guest musician, and our bird, creating a truly unforgettable experience. As midnight passes, we’ll make our way back to camp and carriages.

Kalkuni muusikas sulavad kokku pärimus ning kaasaegne helikeel ja elutunnetus, minevik ja olevik. Mari mitte ainult ei peegelda, vaid loob ka juurde: mitmed Mari laulud oleks nagu olemas olnud juba aastakümneid, kuid on tehtud alles äsja. Sama kehtib Mari teiste lugude kohta. Ta loob traditsiooni ja see on harvaesinev väärtus.
Mari fenomen on ta vahetus, see sisemine tugevus, mis tulebki kõige selgemalt esile lauludes, kui muusik on üksi oma instrumentide ja lauluga. Mari Kalkuni muusika lahtumatu osa ongi vaikus. Linnas seda vaikust ei leia, ka mere ääres on vaikus teistsugune – Mari lugude hääletus tuleb metsadest, mis räägivad juurde ka oma lugusid.
