Artists:
Latvian Radio Choir
Instrumental Ensemble (pipes and flutes, keyboard instruments, percussion, double bass, trumpet)
Conductor Sigvards Kļava

Programme:
Choral songs by Mārtiņš Brauns with lyrics by Latvian authors, including Rainis, Rūdolfs Blaumanis, Jānis Peters, Broņislava Martuževa, and Uģis Brikmanis.

This patriotic and dynamic concert programme was created in close collaboration between Mārtiņš Brauns himself and the conductor of the Latvian Radio Choir, Sigvards Kļava!

The legendary composer may now be crafting music in another realm, but this unique collection of his chosen choral works serves as a testament to life, homeland, and the strength of the human spirit. Every Latvian recognizes the iconic “Saule, Pērkons, Daugava” (Sun, Thunder, Daugava), performed by the massive choir at the Song Festival, striking the deepest chords of national identity. Alongside this powerful anthem, the programme unveils lesser-heard yet equally impactful pieces, charged with electrifying energy and infused with the romanticism, drama, and pop-rock flair so characteristic of Mārtiņš Brauns’ music.
