LR3’s celebration of Riga as Europe’s Capital of Culture is another key event promoting Latvian arts to the world.
Altogether five concert recordings and three live broadcasts of Latvian composers’ works performed by Latvia’s leading musicians, from jazz to ethno music will be offered to the many millions of international listeners, at first in at least 13 countries belonging to the Euroradio network.
“The Euroradio Week is Radio “Klasika’s” most important international contribution to the “Riga 2014” Programme. We are very pleased that all eight concerts, which not only feature the leading orchestras and acclaimed soloists of Latvia, but also include many works by Latvian composers and a number of premieres, present the music scene of our country in the best possible way and in a great variety of genres,” LR3-Klasika director Gunda Vaivode said.
The Euroradio Week program schedule can be viewed at the Riga2014 Euroradio page.
