<p>According to Greif, a Polish-French composer of Jewish origin, his concerto was inspired by “death, which in its dance revokes the customary societal divide”. Piano quartet <em>RIX</em> seldom performs in its full composition back home, as the musicians spend their daily lives in various orchestras in Europe, but they gather in Latvia every year to perform some little- or unknown piece, and a concerto for four soloists is a rare sight indeed. A performance of Mahler’s Fifth is a more frequent phenomenon, but every one who admires Visconti and Venice will attest that the <em>Adagietto’s</em> beauty is unparalleled, and one can never get enough of it.</p><p><br></p><p>THE RIX QUARTET: <a rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://en.lnso.lv/sandis-steinbergs">Sandis ŠTEINBERGS</a> – violin, Ilze KĻAVA – viola, Reinis BIRZNIEKS – cello, Jānis MAĻECKIS – piano</p><p><br></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><h3>CONDUCTOR</h3><p><a rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://en.lnso.lv/andris-poga">Andris Poga</a></p><h3>PROGRAM</h3><ul> <li>Olivier GREIF Concerto La danse des morts</li> <li>Gustav MAHLER Symphony No. 5</li></ul><p><a rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1tgomaahWicM9f32sUXdgER2V0dFXkj7r/view?usp=sharing">Programm available here</a></p>
