About this event
Sixteen Latvian choirs fill the Great Hall of the Riga Latvian Society House to mark the 65th birthday of conductor and composer Arijs Skepasts. The programme gathers his own songs alongside audience-favourite arrangements of Latvian folk songs that have become fixtures of the choral repertoire. For anyone curious about Latvia's Song Festival tradition, this is it in concentrated form.
Why we picked it
Sixteen choirs on one stage in Riga's most historic society hall, free — an unusually large-scale free concert and a direct line into Latvian choral culture.
