Mārtiņš CIRCENIS - clarinet

Agnese EGLIŅA - piano

Program: music by Gernot WOLFGANG, Edouard DESTENE, Daniel KESNER, William TUTĀN

Gernot Wolfgang's “New York Moments” truly embodies the energy of the city's golden age - rhythmically pulsing, harmonically colorful, and joyful music in which influences of funk, blues, and jazz intertwine organically. Eduard Destene's captivating trio combines the warmth of German Romanticism with the refinement of French lyricism, while Daniel Kesner's Undercurrent/current highlights each instrument's unique voice and allows the musicians to improvise freely. The finale, 3 peccadilloes, can be translated as “three misdeeds” or “three little sins,” inspired by Rossini's musical confession. Playful, witty, and virtuosic, this program will become a fine testament to the skill and musical interplay of the LNSO musicians.
