A concert where refined Baroque elegance meets the passionate world of tango – and who knows, perhaps the orbits of these seemingly distant musical universes will intersect in a special way in the new work by Edgars Cīrulis. Joining the LNSO musicians on stage will be the outstanding harpsichordist Ieva Saliete and Latvia’s own tango master, Artūrs Noviks.
