Addressing the audience at the Latvian National Opera and Ballet House, State President Edgars Rinkēvičs stated that today we have a celebration of excellence in Latvian music. “The big music award is usually a certain reference point. We look back on the past year. We appreciate what has been done,” said the President.
“But the Grand Music Prize is also a spark for a new idea – something new and beautiful. I am especially pleased that tonight I have the happiness and honor to present the award in the category “Young Musician of the Year”. These are people who are already great. These are people who have already started their journey in music. However, excellence is unthinkable without quality education, without safe education and, I want to emphasize this, a safe environment at school, university and workplace,” said Rinkēvičs in his speech.
