“The Wind in the Willows” is a musical show for children staged especially for the “LNSO Summer House”.
The music has been composed by Edgars Mākens, winner of the “Spēlmaņu nakts” award and the driving force behind the bands “Gaujarts” and “Manta”, who writes music for productions at the National Theatre and the Valmiera Theatre.
The children’s musical show is based on Kenneth Grahame’s well-known book “The Wind in the Willows”, whose main characters are the home-loving Mole, the easy-going river-dweller Rat, the spoilt and wealthy Toad and the wise recluse Badger.
Director – Ģirts Šolis, who stages productions at the Latvian Puppet Theatre, Dirty Deal Teatro and elsewhere, and whom we also know as the leader of the once popular band “umka.lv”.
Puppets, actors and the LNSO “Willow Ensemble” will take part in the show under the direction of clarinettist and conductor Guntis Kuzma.
