For several years Ieva Ezeriete (soprano), Lāsma Meldere-Šestakova and Vitalijs Šestakovs (baroque violins), and Aigars Reinis (positive organ) have been studying and working on the characteristics and pieces of various unknown and little-known composers, which have been created exactly for voice with two violins and continuo. In the 17th century, when the philosophic outlook of the world changed, when human emotions overpowered the rational, the tasks and goals of music also changed.

Musica poetica is a term used to denote the art of composing music in the 16th and 17th centuries in Germany. At that time the task of the composer was related to inviting active emotions in the listener. Latvia can also be proud, with several great masters of music of that time, and the story of this concert is about Johann Fischer and Philipp Heinrich Erlebach – two chapel masters whose music was once played in the court of the Duke of Kurzeme, as well as in Riga and various cities in Germany.

The programme includes: Johann Fischer, Philipp Heinrich Erlebach
