The award-winning Trio Palladio returns to Riga with their new programme. The trio members are internationally recognised soloists, avid chamber musicians and acclaimed recording artists. Trio Palladio’s distinctive approach juxtaposes the classical piano trio repertoire with contemporary works, especially from the Baltic region. Their new programme is no exception: three recent compositions, each representing a different Baltic state, will be heard alongside Viennese master Franz Schubert’s late First Trio. Schubert’s lyrical work was penned during his last year of life, therefore its overflowing joie de vivre speaks with great poignancy. 

The Baltic composers’ works use contemporary language, but their foundations are built on primeval cornerstones. Their soundworld expresses calm strength and some undefinable mystery.

Music by Schubert, Vasks, Šenderovas, Tüür. Tickets on Biļesu Paradīze.

Olivier Messiaen created his epic cycle Vingt Regards sur l’enfant-Jésus during the darkest days of the Second World War. A profound reflection on all aspects of the human condition refracted through the composer’s intense religious faith and profound humanity. The music moves inexorably through vast spaces encompassing the sound of chants, colourful birdsong, joyful dance and ultimately a sense of awe at the wonders of the universe. Experiencing the complete cycle in concert is always a significant musical event. The award-winning Latvian pianist Reinis Zariņš has a great affinity and personal connection to this masterpiece of twentieth century piano music. His performances of Messiaen’s music are always transformative, unmissable occasions.
