The USA-Canada Concert Tour was organized by the Embassy of Estonia in Washington D.C. in close cooperation with the Estonian Permanent Mission to the United Nations, the Consulate General in New York, and the Embassy of Estonia in Ottawa. Local partners were the Estonian Societies and Houses of Lakewood, New Jersey, New York and Ottawa.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Estonia, the Ministry of Culture and private sponsors financed the tour.
The audience thoroughly enjoyed the concert and gave the performers a well-deserved standing ovation.
