Latvian Radio Choir
(artistic director Sigvards Kļava)
New programme!
The path to hearing the Eternal Light through night prayer and peace...
The NIGHT PRAYER concert has become a tradition in the Winterfest repertoire. This programme will be a discovery for music connoisseurs and friends alike. Conductor Sigvard Kļava is sure that the audience will appreciate both the beauty of the sound itself - the miraculous matter - and the silence that changes its hue in the acoustics of the church and flickers like candle flames in the darkest time of the year. It will be not only an extraordinary concert, but also a special ceremony.
It is music that can stop the ordinary passage of time and bring a sense of peace, hope, clarity and hushed longing that is so characteristic of Advent. The music you will hear may help you to answer the big questions that life itself asks. Since the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, man has been preoccupied with the question of why he has come into this world, how he lives and what he will leave for posterity...
