Violinist Florian Donderer, concertmaster of the Estonian Festival Orchestra and a longtime friend of Sinfonietta Rīga, leads a programme that bridges eras and styles. Beethoven’s youthful First Symphony and lyrical First Romance meet Charles Ives’ enigmatic The Unanswered Question and Terry Riley’s groundbreaking minimalist classic In C, expanding musical horizons across two centuries.
