Programme:
In the program “Across the River. Ziedonis and Vācietis” music inspired by the great Latvian writers of different times intertwines with the verses of the great masters’ poetry, heartfelt reminiscences and engaging fragments from the letters they once wrote. The outstanding Latvian actor Gundars Āboliņš meets on stage with Katrīna Paula Felsberga, who is deservedly considered one of the most promising singers of her generation, and the bright stars of the Great Music laureates of the Award – the versatile percussionist Guntars Freibergs and the temperamental pianist Agnese Egliņa.
Plakid’s “Trejžuburis” and Zemzari’s cycle “Ķemeri”, also Maskat’s “Aizteci, zaķīt” and Jančevski’s “Apdzisa pļavas”, Dambis’ “Three variations of Imants Ziedonis and Paulis Dambis” and many other subtleties of Latvian chamber music.
