Concert “DAILES BIG JAZZ BALL | On Raimonds Pauls' Birthday.”

On January 12, on Maestro Raimonds Pauls' birthday, the concert “DAILES BIG JAZZ BALL” will take place at Daile Music House, featuring soloists Gerda Timrota, Daumants Kalniņš, and the Latvian Radio Big Band.

To mark Maestro Raimonds Pauls' 90th birthday, on January 12, 2026, Daile Music House launched a new tradition - to celebrate Raimonds Pauls' birthday every year in jazz rhythms, honoring not only the Maestro's rich musical legacy, but also his special love of jazz.

Even in his youth, the Maestro was captivated by jazz. That is why the concert “Dailes Big Jazz Ball” will be a musical journey into this world so close to the Maestro, where jazz golden classics and the well-known melodies created by Raimonds Pauls will meet.

Soloists Gerda Timrota and Daumants Kalniņš will delight the audience with both solo performances and duets, and together with the Latvian Radio Big Band under the direction of Kārlis Vanags, they will bring to the concert the energy and improvisational freedom characteristic of jazz music.
