<p>“Iron fist in a velvet glove” – prestigious Belgian magazine <em>Le Soir</em> extols Vineta Sareika’s performance and charm on stage. For us, it is old news, and no wonder that the outstanding violinist garners plenty of praise, both as solo performer and as first violin in the refined Artemis Quartet. We eagerly anticipate her appearance in this romantic programme to see her perform Mendelssohn’s early Violin Concerto in D minor. It is bound to be an unforgettable interpretation. Even more, Grieg’s String Quartet and the meditation of Vasks’s angel are sure to be painted in new shades of solitude.</p><h3>SOLOIST/-S</h3><p>Vineta Sareika – Soloist (violin) and leader</p><h3>PROGRAM</h3><ul> <li>Felix MENDELSSOHN Violin Concerto in D minor</li> <li>Pēteris VASKS Lonely Angel</li> <li>Edward GRIEG String Quartet, arrangement for string orchestra</li></ul>
