Elīna Garanča is one of the most sought-after singers on Earth; among mezzo-sopranos she has few peers, vocally, musically, or dramatically. /New York Classical Review/

This will be the debut of the world-renowned Latvian artist at the concert hall Great Amber in Liepāja. In Liepāja, Elīna Garanča will perform a chamber music program. Sharing the stage with her will be one of the best accompanists on the globe, the exceptional Scottish pianist Malcolm Martineau. Martineau is known as the accompanist for the world's greatest opera divas – Anna Netrebko, Anne Sofie von Otter, Angela Gheorghiu, and others. Together with Elīna Garanča, he has performed magnificent concerts at the most prestigious concert halls of the world – Wigmore Hall in London, Carnegie Hall in New York, Musikverein Vienna, etc. 

The onstage partnership of both performers is described as magical. “Elīna Garanča's voice with the fine accompaniment of the piano not only touches, but also entrances – it embodies the entire spectrum of colors and emotions. It is a voice that has reached maturity but has not lost its tenderness, lightness and flexibility,” critics write.

The concert program will be announced at a later time.
