Paris - a city that leaves no one indifferent. For centuries, it has been a centre of culture and art, attracting poets, artists and musicians from all walks of life. Here, luxury and simplicity exist side by side, as do the bustle of the streets and the quiet of little cafés, happiness and a touch of melancholy.
As Ernest Hemingway once wrote: "Paris is a moveable feast". And perhaps that is why we long to return to it again and again.
The programme “Dans mon Paris” features songs instantly recognisable from their very first notes – from Joe Dassin and Charles Aznavour to Édith Piaf, Lara Fabian and Zaz. Songs in which Paris lives on - with its light, gentle melancholy, passion and warmth.
Performers:
Jūlija Vasiļjeva – soprano, Latvian National Opera
Aldis Kise – accordion
Gidons Grīnbergs – violin
Jegors Kovaikovs – guitar

Beneath the vaults of St Paul’s Church, music, light and space will create an atmosphere in which Paris feels just a little closer.
The musicians will be located in the stalls, near the altar.
