Organist Iveta Apkalnas, the artistic director of the festival, says: “Music comes from silence and returns to it. Silence at the beginning of a piece is not the same as at the end of a piece, because while we listen, the world around us changes. Our inner world also changes. It can become fragile to mighty and from proud to humble. At this festival, we invite you to listen to the majesty of the instrument of a thousand tongues and hear that one voice that speaks to you.”
