“There is so much happiness in my amber dreams!…”, says the poem by Vilis Pludonis, chosen by composer Jānis Lūsēns for his song – a tribute to Sonora Vaice.
A vital, relaxing and warmly positive programme of theatre and film music by Latvian composers, with theatrical elements and bright musical accents by the brilliant violin virtuoso RAIMONDS OZOLS and improvisations of well-known melodies by the young, talented jazz pianist MATĪS ŽILINSKY, who will tempt you to sing along.
The soloists will both sing and dance, like in a fashion show, changing colourful costumes and taking the audience through different events in the life of a person, each one of us, that are dear to us, associative emotional states and moods, making us laugh and think: is the life we live theatre?
