The concert will feature brilliant Latvian pianists - Daumants Liepiņš, Andrejs Osokins, Aleksandrs Komka, Aivars Kalējs (organ) and the young virtuoso, 11-year-old Gustavs Kalējs. The pianists will present a unique program, giving new life to recognized musical masterpieces: listeners will hear not only solo performances, but also piano duets, trios, and even quartets.
The evening's musical journey will begin with a performance by the outstanding organist and composer Aivars Kalējs - the majestic sound of the Dome Cathedral organ will envelop listeners in a special festive mood and create a sense of Christmas wonder.
The special guest of the evening will be the world-famous soprano Inese Galante, whose wonderful voice, velvety timbre, nuanced pianissimo and ability to achieve dramatic depth have been loved by audiences around the world. It is no coincidence that her repertoire includes around 40 leading opera roles, performed on the world's most prestigious stages.
The majestic acoustics of the Dome will resound with arias from operas such as Giuseppe Verdi's Aida, George Frideric Handel's Rinaldo, Francesco Cilea's Adriana Lecouvreur, as well as other masterpieces, including Giulio Caccini's divine Ave Maria.
The concert promises to be one of the most impressive events of the Christmas season: the unique program, the mastery of outstanding artists, the majestic acoustics, and the unique atmosphere of Riga Cathedral will give listeners an unforgettable evening - a true celebration filled with music, inspiration, and light.
