The Estonian Philharmonic Chamber Choir (EPCC) is one of the best-known Estonian music ensembles in the world. The choir was founded in 1981 by Tõnu Kaljuste, who was its artistic director and chief conductor for twenty years. From 2001–2007, the English musician Paul Hillier took over. Daniel Reuss collaborated with the choir as its chief conductor from 2008–2013 and Kaspars Putniņš from 2014–2021. Since the 2021/2022 season the artistic director and chief conductor is Tõnu Kaljuste.
The repertoire of the choir extends from Gregorian chant and baroque to the music of the 21st century, with a special focus on the work of Estonian composers, such as Arvo Pärt, Veljo Tormis, Erkki-Sven Tüür, Galina Grigorjeva, Tõnu Kõrvits, introducing their works to the world. Each season the choir gives about 60–70 concerts both in Estonia and abroad.
In 2020 BBC Music Magazine has named the EPCC one of the 10 best choirs in the world.
