Two charming and charismatic artists will meet on stage, and in a sensual atmosphere, they will live stories about love, nature, friendship, the lust for life and pleasure of creative personalities of bohemian pre-war Latvia. Voice, poetry, song, playing the piano, imaginative improvisation will allow you to momentarily find yourself in a 1934 Old Riga coffee shop after midnight…
“Far shores have taken me through adventures, romantic scenes, through the sun and stars already in the process of composing. Carefully selected poetry from the collection Distant shores appealed to me very directly as a city dweller, as a romantic, but most directly – as an artist, and I hope that it will appeal to you too!” says pianist and composer Matīss Žilinskis.
“Vilis Plūdonis was unknown to me until now. I only had a rough idea of his work, this is our first collaboration. The invitation of young composer Matīs Žilinskis to perform his compositions is very honoring and inspiring. In songs, we try to reveal the secrets of the poet’s poetics with simple means of expression. And it seems that the author himself, as a wise pedagogue, comes to the rescue with timeless advice for us, future poets.
It seems that the period of time between us and the Flood is not so big at all and Distant shores hear and see each other,” reveals actor Raimonds Celms.
Matīss Žilinskis is a musician in the fourth generation – a talented pianist, composer, arranger, currently studying at the Jāzeps Vītolas Academy of Music of Latvia, and even maestro Raimonds Pauls has praised his talent. This is his debut in the implementation of such a large-scale concert program, both as a pianist and as a composer. The music created by Matīs and the poetry of Viļs Plūdonis will be performed on stage by the actor of the Latvian National Theater Raimonds Celms. Raymond has appeared in such films as Blizzard of souls, With foam on the lips, Jumprava. The big event etc., in musicals Come on, my love etc., and is currently active in the National Theater as a staff actor.
