On the eve of our national holiday, November 17, we invite each of you to join us for a live stream of the celebration concert of the 102nd anniversary of Latvia from the Great Amber!
At a time where we cannot meet in person, this will be a special gift from the Great Amber Concert Hall and the Liepāja Symphony Orchestra not only for Liepāja, but for all of Latvia and to our people in the entire world.
The 102nd anniversary celebration will mark the first time that the audience of the Liepāja concert hall will be able to experience the skillful performance of the internationally acclaimed conductor Ainārs Rubiķis. Rubiķis has designed his first meeting with listeners in Liepāja by curating an especially uplifting, festive and patriotic program for this concert, mixing Latvian folklore and ethnic tones with gems of Romanticism created by grands of Latvian symphony music. “The creation of the program was mainly prompted by how rarely I am at home, in Layvia. The longer I am away from my country, the more I wish to return to its roots,” admits the artistic director and conductor of the concert, Ainārs Rubiķis.
The program features works by: Ādolfs Skulte, Pēteris Barisons, Romualds Kalsons, Jānis Mediņš, Mārtiņš Brauns, Imants Kalniņš.
