"Christmas Prelude" - a series of winter concerts of the Ines Galante Foundation
In anticipation of Christmas, the Ines Galante Foundation invites you to a special concert series "Christmas Prelude" - three musical evenings, which will combine excellent music, brilliant Latvian artists and a special festive mood. Three concerts, three musical stories and the ever-closer feeling of the Christmas miracle.
December 10 – "Three Tenors"
The series will be opened by three soloists of the Latvian National Opera - Raimonds Bramanis, Dainis Kalnačs and Juris Vizbulis. They will take the same stage with a program inspired by the legendary joint concerts of Luciano Pavarotti, José Carreras and Plácido Domingo. Opera arias, famous Italian songs and wonderful Neapolitan melodies will create the mood of sunny Italy and give the evening a special festive sparkle.
December 11 – PIANO evening
The following evening, the brightest Latvian pianists from different generations will meet on the same stage - Daumants Liepiņš, Andrejs Osokins, Aleksandrs Komka, Aivars Kalējs and the 12-year-old virtuoso Gustav Kalējs. Recognized musical masterpieces will be revealed in the individual interpretation of each artist, while solo performances will be joined by duets, trios and quartets. Inese Galante will be a special guest of the evening.
December 12 – "Christmas Prelude"
The culmination of the series will be the traditional concert of Ines Galante in Riga Cathedral. Under the majestic vaults of the Cathedral, the music of outstanding Latvian artists and young talents will be performed by soloists, a boys' choir and the laureates of the competition "Talents of Inese Galantes". The special Christmas mood will be complemented by the unique architecture of the Dome, the majestic sound of the organ and the lighting design created for each piece.
Three concerts – three musical stories that lead you step by step towards Christmas, filling this special waiting time with music, beauty and inspiration.
