“Real music by real musicians,” the famous artist Prince was able to give the most precise characteristics regarding the musicals spirit and joy, which describes Boney Fields perfectly. Just like Prince, the Chicago born trumpet player Boney Fields is part of this generation of African-American musicians born to tame the stage.

The LNSO season opening concert will see the premiere of Pēteris Vasks’ new work, commissioned by the LNSO – Concerto for Oboe and Orchestra. The composition was created with the support from Latvia’s Centenary Celebration programme, and the solo will be performed by the world-famous solo performer Albrecht Mayer, principal oboist of the Berliner Philharmoniker. On the conductor’s podium – LNSO music director and chief conductor Andris Poga.
Pēteris Vasks’ music has been attracting an ever greater international recognition since the early 90s, and the composer’s new works premiere abroad – instead of his homeland – increasingly more often. A sought-after author, Vasks receives commissions from influential organisations and brilliant, world-renowned musicians; therefore, the first performance of a Vasks’ work is a rare honour in Latvia in recent years.
In addition to Vasks’ new work, Andris Poga included the following compositions in the programme: Pēteris Vasks’ Musica appassionata (2002), a passionate testimony to the force of life, and Symphony No. 6, a monumental, lavish and vital work by the symphony music giant of the Romantic era, Anton Bruckner.
Albrecht Mayer is the principal oboe of the Berliner Philharmoniker since 1992, a world-famous soloist and chamber musician, and a workshop teacher in large international festivals. His stage partners include Hélène Grimaud, Leif Ove Andsnes, Lars Fogt, and Thomas Quasthoff. Mayer has received the ECHO-Klassik award. Albrecht Mayer’s last visit to Riga was in May, 2013, when he played the solo and led the performance of Johann Sebastian Bach’s compositions in the LNSO season closing concert.

“Flow of life, stream of time, pulsating sound of the strings of life…and we share the same boat with a certain person in this flow of life – the reality of art and music that stops this flow for a moment and saves us from existential puzzles, creating beauty from the best and most exciting desires and wildest, most delicate emotions, to take us in the harmonious swirl of contrasts. This unstoppable desire to get closer to people, to belong to them creates songs that when heard and experienced by coevals, become almost like folk songs of this era. Ieva Akuratere and Juris Kulakovs in a boat of music, adorned with the oars of songs... may the “Gandrīz tautasdziesma” begin!”
The first part of the concert will provide the most distinguished excerpts from Juris Kulakovs “Mistērijas par Rīgu”, Veidenbaums cycle, cantata “Vēstules uz bruģa” and cantata “Sarkanais vilciens”, performances, rock operas, compositions of instrumental music etc.
Ieva Akuratere, in a white dress and playing a white guitar, will sing the Latvian folk song “Kas kait Rīgas meitiņām”, her song “Vanags” and other compositions.
The second part of the concert – greatest hits of the group “Pērkons”, including “Zaļā dziesma”, “Slidotava”, “Labu vakar”, “Dziesma par sapumpuroto zaru”, “Gandrīz tautasdziesma”, “Mana dienišķā dziesma” and many others.

“Menuets” – it is a consciousness that has lived for two centuries and it will continue to live in the hearts of Latvian people for many more. “Menuets” does not only bring nostalgic memories about past times but also shows us that we are living here and now. The band has been successful not only in Latvia but also in many other places of the world, performing in Finland, Portugal, Germany and other countries. During the performances the band gained the trust of thousand fans who connect the songs of “Menuets” with their memories about youth. Melodies we know so well and texts we can sing along to... Especially those who are 40 and above. This will be returning to our youth when we were hippy girls and boys who had fun at house parties and played tuned guitars in our yards, starting and ending every party with the song “Alvas zaldātiņi”.
The Anniversary Concert Programme in Autumn 2018 includes the most beautiful and popular songs of “Menuets” written by the Composer Imants Kalniņš: “Viņi dejoja vienu vasaru”, “Alvas zaldātiņi”, “Dzeguzes balss”, “Balāde par Johanu”, “Dziesma, ar ko tu sācies”, “Četri balti krekli”, “Viņi dejoja vienu vasaru” and others, as well as songs from the early period of the band with authors Adrians Kukuvass, Juris Sējāns and Juris Kulakovs.
The following musicians Inese Pabērza, Adrians Kukuvass, Baiba Jagere, Juris Kulakovs, Juris Sējāns, Leons Sējāns, Raimonds Bartaševics and Ikars Ruņģis still perform in the band “Menuets”.
