The new artistic director of the orchestra, Guntis Kuzma, will take the conductor’s desk of the Liepāja Symphony Orchestra, who has also included Leonard Bernstein’s overture “Candide” and Mexican Arturo Marquez’s Danson in this dance-joyful concert program.

Citizens of Ukraine are invited to go to the Liepaja concert hall “Lielais dzintars” information center and, upon presentation of their passport or ID card, receive a free entrance card.
