Without him, Latvian music simply would not be what it is today. One might even say that our very sense of Latvian identity would be different. In January, we celebrated Maestro Raimonds Pauls’ birthday with his most beautiful melodies in special jazz arrangements — and now, at the “Vasarnīca” festival, we meet once again.
Together with the Latvian Radio Big Band, the State Choir Latvija, and outstanding soloists, we will take the stage of the Latgale Embassy GORS to perform a concert programme dedicated entirely to the Maestro’s remarkable musical legacy.
