{{Short description|Organization based in Estonia}}
'''PLMF Music Trust''' was inaugurated on 7 February 2003 to support the development of Estonian musicians by organizing master classes, opportunities to perform and by introducing them internationally. The founders of the trust decided to name it after the opera singer Pille Lill.<ref>:et:Pille Lill</ref>
