LNSO sezonas noslēguma koncerts. ŠIŠONA UN ŠIMKUS PARALĒLES

3 MAY AT 19.00, THE GREAT GUILD
LNSO SEASON CLOSING CONCERT. CONGENERS CHICHON AND SHIMKUS

VESTARD SHIMKUS – Piano
Conductor – KAREL MARK CHICHON

Programme:
Andris Dzenītis Langsam (first performance in Latvia)
Claude Debussy Fantaisie for piano and orchestra
Richard Strauss Death and Transfiguration
Richard Strauss Don Juan

Vestards Šimkus resumes his successful alliance with the maestro and performs solo in Debussy’s Fantaisie, which is, first and foremost, fragrance and dance. We eagerly anticipate Andris Dzenītis’ Langsam, which was first performed in Saarbrücken in autumn, 2016, conducted by maestro Chichon. “This music gradually brings us towards the light,” says the composer. In part two, you’ll behold Strauss’ portrait of Don Juan, and his musings on the life beyond (after) will inspire contemplation. Above all – the LNSO reunites with orchestra’s former music director, audience’s favourite Karel Mark Chichon.
