Tõnu Kaljuste är bekant för den svenska publiken efter sin tid som Radiokörens chefsdirigent åren 1994–2001. I november 2019 utnämndes han till hedersdirigent för Radiokören, en ensemble som fortfarande står honom nära. Han är konstnärlig ledare för Tallinns kammarorkester och Tallinn Philharmonic Society, chefsdirigent för Nederländska kammarkören och sedan 2004 konstnärlig ledare för estniska operafestivalen Nargen Festival. Kaljuste har bidragit starkt till att öppna de nordiska öronen för musik från de baltiska länderna. Han är en erkänd uttolkare av bland andra Arvo Pärt, Veljo Tormis, Alfred Schnittke och Krzysztof Penderecki och har arbetat nära flera av Europas främsta moderna tonsättare. Han grundade med drygt tio års mellanrum Estlands filharmoniska kammarkör och Tallinns kammarorkester, som båda blivit mycket framgångsrika och uppträder på världens stora konsertscener och festivaler. Han har gjort flera prisbelönade inspelningar som Grammy-belönade Adam’s Lament.
