Concert “Jazz and Christmas”

We invite you to a special and heartfelt festive evening on an improvisational journey together with Santa Šillere’s concert program “Jazz and Christmas,” which is celebrating its 5th anniversary this year!

Over five years, “Jazz and Christmas” has become a beautiful holiday tradition, inviting listeners every winter to pause for a moment, feel the special atmosphere of the Christmas season, and discover beloved melodies in a completely new way - with a jazz sound.

The anniversary concert will feature works by Raimonds Pauls, Uldis Marhilevičs, Imants Kalniņš, Jānis Lūsēns, and other Latvian composers in new and exciting arrangements, world-loved Christmas classics, as well as the musicians’ original compositions.

Familiar melodies will meet jazz improvisation, creating a warm, sparkling, and slightly unpredictable festive evening.

A special event in the anniversary season is also the release of the program’s first album on vinyl. It brings together the most beautiful melodies and arrangements of “Jazz and Christmas,” which have been loved by listeners over the past five years.

Let Christmas melodies sound in jazz, and let us experience a beautiful, warm, and musical festive evening together!
