On Sunday, September 19, at 16.00 in the concert hall "Lielais dzintars" will be held international concert of Latvian and Lithuanian choral music "Stories of My People" organized by the University of Liepaja, supported by the Lithuanian Choir Union.

Professor Ilze Valce, the artistic director of the concert, says: “The concert will feature the most beautiful Latvian and Lithuanian song festival songs. As the Baltic student song festival "Gaudeamus" was cancelled this year, this concert will serve as a prelude to next year's upcoming student song festival in Vilnius, sung by the Lithuanian University  Choir, and a rhyme for the Kurzeme Song Festival in Dobele where participated choirs from Liepāja. We are especially pleased with the presence of the Guest of Honor - Professor Edgars Račevskis, who has been a lecturer at the University of Liepaja for several years, as well as a multiple participant, chief conductor and artistic director of the Baltic Student Song Festival "Gaudeamus". He has been an educator and still is a source of inspiration for many of us! ”

The special guest of the concert will be the prominent Latvian conductor, Professor Edgars Račevskis, who has celebrated his 85th anniversary this year.
