A concert by the kokle ensemble Canta and the Diamanti Trio, featuring a clear and nuanced performance, as well as the almost otherworldly sound of the kokle (Latvian string instrument)) and kankle (Lithuanian string instrument), which transforms every piece into true musical diamonds.
The kokle ensemble Canta continues to surprise and delight audiences with its diverse and captivating programs, which span a wide range of musical styles and genres. Breaking stereotypes about the kokle as an instrument, the ensemble includes an exceptionally wide musical spectrum in its repertoire and performs it with ever-growing mastery — popular music arrangements, classical music arrangements, Latvian folk music, as well as original works by Latvian and foreign composers. This time, the kokle players will perform alongside the outstanding and professional Lithuanian trio Diamanti Trio, which features kanklės players. This creative ensemble’s repertoire also spans a wide range of genres—from opera arias to rock music, Lithuanian folk songs, and spiritual hymns.
