Liepāja Symphony New Year’s Concert 2024: Tango Passion from Argentina with Accordionist Ksenija Sidorova

At the end of 2024, the Liepāja Symphony New Year’s concert will take the audience to Argentina. Together with the world-famous accordionist Ksenija Sidorova, three holiday concerts will be held this year in the “Lielais dzintars” concert hall – on December 28, 29 and 30 at 7 p.m.

The Liepāja Symphony Orchestra, under the leadership of chief conductor Guntas Kuzmas, will go into the world of tango full of passion. The king of tango Astor Piazzolla and other Argentinian composers will meet in music as the princess of the accordion and the world’s most important herald of the accordion in the 21st century.

“Sidorov has the kind of virtuosity that is a revelation in the truest sense of the word. She clearly shows that the accordion can be as lyrical and graceful as the violin,” writes the British media “The Telegraph”.

Ksenia Sidorova’s 2021 album “Piazzolla Reflections” was critically acclaimed as “brilliantly played and beautifully recorded” (Gramophone) and ranked among the best new classical albums of the year (The Classic Review) and named ” BR Klassik” album of the month.

“The accordion grandmaster Sidorova brings out an amazing variety of colors and textures from these compositions. She captures every subtle change of articulation and mood: one moment she can be melancholic and fragile, and the next – fiery and powerful,” writes “The Classic Review” about the artist’s performance in Astor Piazzolla’s music album.

Previous releases have also been highly successful: Classical Accordion (2011) and Fairy Tales (2013), recorded with the BBC National Orchestra of Wales, and Carmen (2016), for which she won an ECHO Award in 2017 as the best instrumentalist of the year.

Tickets for Liepāja Symphony Orchestra concerts are available at “Biļešu Paradīze” sales points and on the Internet: www.bilesuparadize.lv.

The concert is supported by the Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Latvia and the city of Liepāja.
