In anticipation of Christmas, in the majestic vaults of the Riga Dome, the most heartwarming and most anticipated musical event of the year will be played - "Christmas Prelude" by world opera diva Ines Galante. Once again, excellent artists will meet on stage to give the listeners a special Christmas miracle mood. The concert has already become one of the brightest pre-Christmas traditions in Latvia and an integral business card of Riga.
Countertenor and baroque music interpreter Sergejs Jēgers, composer and organist Aivars Kalējs, tenor Artjoms Safronovs, soloist of the Latvian National Opera and Ballet, soprano Elizabete Laura Porgante, pianist Andrejs Osokins, pianist Aleksandrs Kalējs, young virtuoso pianist Gustavs Kalējs and others will take part in the concert, as well as the young talents of the competition "Ineses Galantes" talents" laureates..
The musical program will traditionally combine the works of great composers, allowing each artist to reveal his unique musical signature. The sound of the Riga Dome organ, vocal masterpieces performed by recognized soloists, choir music and performances by young talents will create an impressive musical journey to the Christmas miracle, where every voice and every instrument will become part of a single holiday story.
The concert will once again feature compositions without which it is difficult to imagine "Christmas Prelude": Inese Galante will perform the touching "Ave Maria", while the boys' choir of Jāzeps Mediņš Riga 1st Music School will perform the beloved Christmas melody "Silent Night, Holy Night".
On this festive evening, the interior of the Dom Church will be transformed into a fairy tale by dynamic light installations that will organically merge with the musical program.
