5.3.2 Performing arts and music

There are no specific legislative acts concerned with performing arts and music. According to the Cultural Endowment of Estonia Act (1994), the state-owned Endowment is comprised of nine departments, one of which gives grants for music and one for drama (see also chapter 8.1.2).

The Law on Pensions Related to Term of Service (1992) grants musicians, actors, and other performing arts employees of concert organisations the right to retire after 20 to 25 years of professional activity.
