Rock and Organ: Ballads. Premiere

Okoncert presents: ROCK AND ORGAN: BALLADS. Premiere - legendary rock ballads performed on the organ!

We are pleased to present the premiere of the new concert program ROCK AND ORGAN: BALLADS.

There is rock music in which it is not volume, but melody that comes to the forefront. This time ROCK AND ORGAN will reveal itself from a different side - the program will focus on famous ballads and pieces that have long become classics of rock music.

The organ will meet electric guitar, bass guitar, vocals, and percussion. This combination will allow familiar music to be discovered anew - from a lyrical, almost chamber-like sound to the powerful climaxes of the full ensemble.

Rock ballads will retain their recognizability and character, while gaining the scale and depth of organ sound.

Performers:

Ilona Birģele (organ)

Mārcis Vasiļevskis (guitar)

Ervīns Ramiņš (bass guitar, vocals)

Virdžīnija Laube-Vītiņa (percussion)

Under the neo-Gothic vaults of St. Paul's Church, rock ballads will take on a completely different sound. The church's spacious acoustics, light, and architecture will enhance the scale of the music while preserving its emotional intensity and intimacy.
