JANIS LUSENS is one of the most romantic Latvian contemporary composers, who continues the best Latvian traditions of our solo songs. His cooperation with Ingus Petersons and Kristine Zadovska within the frames of the cycle "A little while ...", as well as the cooperation with Sergey Jaeger in the Latvian poet Aspazija poetry cycle "That word" has been very successful, therefore have gained a significant audience appreciation.
The main task of this Christmas concert is to break down the time boundaries between the past and present, between the childhood dreams and today's reality. Alongside playful and childish musical and poetical expressions the listener will be able to enjoy the feeling of infinity, inherent to the poetry of Poruks. As the composer Janis Lusens emphasizes, "In this particular concert I am willing to create a feeling that everyone is at their home, and to wake a feeling that all people around us are our friends and compatriots, to whom our traditions, history, family roots and its prolongations are the most sacred heritage that we receive and pass further. This sense of community in each of the cities will also be strengthened by the participation of the CHOIR in the final part of the concert, performing my already well-known and appraised songs". Janis Lusens also highlights that "God, faith, hope and love will be named a little during this concert; however, every word and sound will embody a sense of their presence".

The new programme of 2015 "When the Love is born ..." with the participation of Zigfrids Muktupavels and Ance Krauze is going to be a sequel to the work already accomplished in this musical genre. Within the frames of this song cycle two very unique voice owners will meet, to whom Janis Lusens has created 12 new songs. In early December they will also release these songs in a CD version. Janis Lusens has always assigned a special meaning to good poetry. Alongside poetry classics like Anna Brigadere, Karlis Kruzs, Janis Poruks and others, modern Christmas feeling of Inese Zandere and Guntars Godins will feed into. Beside these new songs during the concert we will also hear songs already composed, which are played by the TV and radio for more than 20 years. The especially selected members of the Christmas Orchestra of Janis Lusens form the musical outfit of this concert equally colorful and equivalent to the voices of soloists. They will also perform a song medley with specially arranged traditional Christmas melodies.
