About a woman who wants to live more than anything, and a man who wants to love and be loved. The compositions were created with the support of the AKKA/LAA authors’ scholarship and, hopefully, one day they will join the ranks of Latvia as the first original Latvian musical whose music author has also created the text. , representatives of the museum note.

“Such a path to creating music is long and challenging, one must be aware of the limitations of the performing arts, one must be able to write poetic and emotional inner monologues and everyday conversations just as well. The music should be suggestive, colorful enough, but also comprehensible, organic, so that a complex score does not prevent seeing the most important thing. It’s hard work, but I’m full of inspiration and happiness,” said musician Vaira Vovere.

The concert “Reorganization” is also about metamorphosis. The two musicians, after turning from simple actors to actors and creators, want to invite the audience to change too, to want to see themselves in the changing context of the world. Imants Ziedonis called it Vertical, spiritual growth and upward movement.

Along with the upcoming music, works that have already been performed in “Vārsmā” will be performed, as well as compositions by Edgar Cīrulis and pieces from the beloved “Viegli” repertoire, to compose Imanta’s connection with the vision of the world and musical understanding of both new composers, according to representatives of the museum.
