We remind you that the cycle of concert talks “Closer” was started by LSO last summer to invite listeners to meet remotely in music and talks with orchestra musicians on the “Big Amber” stage. “The audience’s beloved ensemble is mainly associated with a wonderful sound and stage overview in the concert hall, but now is the time to get to know the unique personalities that make up this orchestra,” says ULO head Uldis Lipskis. The broadcasts have reached many thousands of people all over Latvia, educating, delighting and uplifting them. “
So far, 18 live broadcasts have been made, and these recordings are still viewable on the orchestra’s website.
