Rudolf Tobiase mälestuskivi avamine Kullamaal, 1973

Composer Rudolf Tobias, born on Hiiumaa in 1873, spent part of his childhood at Kullamaa, where his father was parish clerk and organist. For his centenary in May 1973 a memorial stone was unveiled in the village. Three brass bands from Lihula, Haapsalu and Märjamaa play, district officials speak, the Estonian Radio choir sings Tobias's 'Allik', and the ceremony ends with massed choirs under Gustav Ernesaks singing 'Mu isamaa on minu arm'.
