Sinfonietta Rīga. Mendelszons, Vidmanis un Vēbers

One of the trump cards of the incredibly talented German clarinettist, composer and conductor Jörg Widmann is his versatility. He performs regularly with the best German orchestras and is the Principal Guest Conductor of the Irish Chamber Orchestra. Widmann's fascinating and adventurous compositions are beloved by maestros Mariss Jansons, Andris Nelsons, Paavo Järvi and Simon Rattle, who often include his works in their concert programmes.

For his creative work Widmann has received the prestigious Claudio Abbado Composition Prize, and his dazzling clarinet performance continues to enchant the listeners with passionate musicality and incredible natural grace. Despite his dizzying concert schedule that takes the artist all around the world, Widmann has found a chance to return to Latvia. He will join Sinfonietta Rīga to perform Weber, conduct Mendelssohn and captivate the audience with his own music.
