Thank you to the Ministry of Culture, the State Cultural Capital Foundation for the support and opportunity to continue the excellent musical offer of the Latvian state centennial program at the festival.

“We are happy and pleasant, but, admittedly, at the same time worrying anxiety in Ventspils, we are waiting for the end of August, when for the first time in the concert hall Latvia let’s take LNSO summer house. With joy and pride, because together with the orchestra we have created such a different program from day to day, which will reflect the interrelationships of different generations of composers in life and music, the challenging spirit of the era and decades of romantic sentiment. With great concern, because, despite the time when many of the usual movements have been denied to us and which has changed our initial intentions for this year’s Cottages musicians, we have been able to keep our repertoire almost unchanged. I look forward to Saturday with the greatest interest, when the music of two American composers will be performed in two concerts on the Great Hall stage – the 11th symphony of master Philip Glass and the organ and symphonic music of his apprentice and follower of tradition Niko Muliuli. In particular, I look forward to hearing Niko’s opuses, of which no one seems to have performed in Latvia yet, “says the concert halls. Latvia artistic director Mick Magone.

LNSO Summer House is an LNSO summer festival with classical and non-academic programs.
