"NO.1.1" CONCERT PERFORMANCE COMBINING POETRY AND CONTEMPORARY CLASSICAL MUSIC
On September 17, an interactive concert performance combining contemporary poetry and classical music "No.1.1." was created by young artists in the Aparaaditehas Hall of Love and Taskupark, with the aim of blurring the boundaries between the two genres. The concert had an unconventional structure - the program was announced on the day of the concert. Artists Kaisa Kuslapuu, Joosep Vesselov, Liisa Mudist, Katrin Aller, Maria Jönsson, Marta Talvet, Adena Anton and Gregor Kulla performed on stage. The hall, which can accommodate 80 people, quickly sold out, and due to the great interest of the audience, an additional performance of "No.1.1" was held on October 9.

PODCAST FESTIVAL APARAADIO
In November 2020, Estonia's first podcast festival, Aparaadio, took place at Aparaaditehas. 13 diverse radio producers and podcasters from all over Estonia performed at the festival, including both veterans and newcomers. Four thematic stages: politics, music, culture, entertainment and sports, were set up in different rooms of Aparaaditehas, such as the Different Rooms Club, tARTu store, the Hall of Love, and the Peninuki bar. Aparaadio's goal was to physically gather the people's favorite shows and hosts in one place and through this, develop Estonian podcast culture. The project offered a new way of spending time and raised people's awareness of the possibilities given by podcasts. The festival was free for everyone interested.
