Performing:

Riga Saxophone Quartet:

The name of the concert comes from the composition of Latvian composer Rihards Dubra. This composition was written specially for Riga Saxophone Quartet and is one of the central pieces of this concert. It may seem strange for artists to choose such a name for a concert when all one can feel is the stillness and silence of winter, see the white snow and the starry sky compared to what the name entails.  The programme is made together with soprano Kristīne Gailīte, which makes part of the compositions to sound very untraditionally – a voice together with arranged accompaniment for saxophone quartet.
