Weekend music. Andrey Osokin and Katrina Gupalo

The second concert of the autumn "Holiday music'' series will present the charming vocalist Katrīna Gupalo and distinguished pianist Andrey Osokin, joined by Elvijs Endelis on percussion. Being piano class graduates of the Royal Academy of Music in London, Katrīna Gupalo and Andrey Osokin do not only limit themselves to the classical music world. They create powerful experimental projects where classical music goes hand in hand with popular music, performing arts transform into theatre art, with everything entwined in professionalism and originality of ideas. During the concert, Katrīna Gupalo and Andrey Osokin, together with percussionist Elvijs Endelis, will perform melodies from the repertoire of the 20th century divas – Marilyn Monroe, Édith Piaf, Marlene Dietrich, Liza Minnelli, Nina Simone, and Julie London. The powerful and particularly sensual timbre of Katrīna Gupalo will play with coquettish, provocative, emotional, fearless and tender melodies, while Andrey Osokin will make his piano create a make-believe symphony orchestra on the stage.
