movie

HELJU TAUK (1930-2005) was an Estonian music teacher, pianist, musicologist, prominent music promoter and one of those involved in the establishment of the Tallinn Music High School. She was born on March 29, 1930 in Tartu. She went to school there and in 1939 entered the Tartu Higher Music School, majoring in piano. She also studied piano at the Tallinn Conservatory, graduating as a musicologist, pedagogue and concertmaster. Meetings of nationalist intellectuals took place in her home. This attracted the attention of the KGB and she had to resign from her teaching position. In 1982 she was called back to the conservatory, but in 1985 new interrogations came. In 1988 Tauk was involved in the founding of the Estonian National Independence Party. When the reconstruction of the Birgitine monastery began in Tallinn in 1994, Helju Tauk became the sisters' language and music teacher. Helju Tauk's greatest contribution is her work as a teacher and popularizer of music. In the period 1984-2003 alone, she gave over 800 lecture concerts in about 300 schools and institutions in all Estonian counties. What makes Helju Tauk a particularly remarkable person is that most of the musicians who are active today in Estonia are her students (or students of her students). The film features Mihkel Poll, Arne Mikk, Ivari Ilja, Kersti Kreismann, Madis Kolk, Tiina Mattisen, Tiiu Peäske, Lagle Parek, Tunne Kelam, Jüri Reinvere, Rein Rannap and others. Helju Tauk has been a central figure in Estonia, shaping the Estonian spirit, just as the Estonian community was shaped its musical and spiritual life at the moment.
