Honeymoon at Pöide Church 2015
Liis Lulla has
been arranging charity concerts in Pöide Church already since 2007
after she started her flute studies abroad. Each summer the program
includes different masterpieces of classical music. This summer (2018)
we can expect concert No. 11 and the program will be very classical,
including music by Bach and Telemann.
On July 4,
2015 curly birches donated by Curly Birch Union to St. Mary’s
Church of
Pöide were planted around the church. Participants included President
Arnold
Rüütel, the Chairman of the Curly Birch Union – scientist Ivar Sibul,
and engineering
archaeologist Villu Kadakas. The event was concluded by a short concert
given
by singer Triin Ella.
In June 2015 the restoration work of the southern
portal and filling of
openings begins.
45 000 EUR from state budget are assigned for the work, in
addition, 15 000
EUR are donated by Saaremaa Knighthood to Pöide congregation for the
restoration
of the three windows below the tower.
The total cost of the work is over 100 000 EUR. 2012 – the renovation of the roof of Pöide
Church begins. Workers
assembled a lot of frames (or simply rafters), which are lifted to the
right
place by a crane.
