“LNSO SUMMER COTTAGE 2018” OPENING CONCERT. BACH AND MOZART

In Bach’s sonata LNSO’s first violin Georgs Sarkisjans meets brilliant harpsichordist Ieva Saliete, in Bach’s concerto the soloists are LNSO’s principal oboist Egils Upatnieks and the wonderful Darja Smirnova; Bach’s violin music is arranged for guitar by the thoughtful and unpredictable Matīss Čudars, while from Mozart we hear a sparkling entertainment serenade and an elegant harpsichord concerto composed at the age of 16.

An hour before the concert, everyone is warmly welcome to a meeting with harpsichordist Ieva Saliete and LNSO’s chief editor Orests Silabriedis “Pre-concert Talk” on the topic “Mozart’s Miraculous Childhood”.
