Kimmo Mattila, Segretario Generale della CIA, ha dichiarato: “Mi piace molto la musica di Tiit Kalluste e il suo meraviglioso modo di suonare la fisarmonica. Ha creato uno stile personale che unisce il jazz tradizionale e la musica nordica contemporanea. Il suo concerto insieme a giovani musicisti jazz è stato semplicemente fantastico!”. La Confédération Internationale des Accordéonistes (CIA) è un'organizzazione mondiale composta da 43 organizzazioni membri in tutto il mondo. La CIA è stata fondata nel 1935 ed è una delle più antiche organizzazioni musicali internazionali al mondo. La CIA è membro dell'International Music Council, che è partner ufficiale dell'UNESCO.
