										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2 class="" data-start="328" data-end="425">Summer Classics 2025: symphonic wind orchestra and organ at Riga Cathedral</h2>
<p class="" data-start="427" data-end="757">Every August, Orchestra RIGA invites symphonic music listeners to immerse in the grandeur of wind orchestra sounds within the acoustics of historical Riga Cathedral. The annual concert series has become a signature music event in Riga&#8217;s summer event calendar where Orchestra RIGA and Riga Cathedral organ meet in majestic harmony. This year’s concerts feature two distinctive programs, each offering a dialogue between eras, styles, and sonorities. Under the direction of Latvian conductors <strong data-start="947" data-end="964">Valdis Butāns</strong> and <strong data-start="969" data-end="985">Guntis Kuzma</strong>, showcasing masterpieces from <strong data-start="1085" data-end="1104">Bach, </strong><strong data-start="1085" data-end="1104">Mozart</strong> and <strong data-start="1108" data-end="1126">Debussy</strong> to contemporary music composition master <strong>Rihards Dubra</strong> and Dutch composer <strong data-start="1159" data-end="1176">Johan de Meij</strong>.</p>
<h3 data-start="759" data-end="1177"><strong>August 5 | 19:00 at Riga Cathedral<br />
<a href="https://orkestris.riga.lv/en/summer_classics_riga_cathedral_august5/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">BACH. DUBRA. DEBUSSY.</a></strong></h3>
<p class="" data-start="1223" data-end="1305"><strong data-start="1223" data-end="1274">Orchestra RIGA<br />
</strong>Conductor: <strong data-start="1223" data-end="1274">Valdis Butāns<br />
</strong>Organ:<strong data-start="1223" data-end="1274"> Aigars Reinis</strong></p>
<p class="" data-start="1307" data-end="1451">The concert offers a vibrant fusion of Baroque, Impressionist, and modern sacred music sounds. The program includes J. S. Bach’s E-flat major <em data-start="205" data-end="224">Prelude and Fugue</em>, BWV 552, as arranged by D. Hunsberger, bringing out the full richness of the wind orchestra, and the <em data-start="335" data-end="356">Concerto in D minor</em> — a transcription of one of Vivaldi’s violin concertos (BWV 596), showcasing Bach’s admiration for Italian brilliance, known for its rich and colorful timbre. Organist <a href="https://doms.lv/en/pages/199" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong data-start="1796" data-end="1813">Aigars Reinis</strong></a> will also interpret Claude Debussy’s <em data-start="576" data-end="598">The Sunken Cathedral</em> (<em data-start="600" data-end="625">La Cathédrale engloutie</em>) — a haunting vision rendered in an evocative orchestration by Jean-Louis Roques. This is paired with Debussy’s ethereal <em data-start="747" data-end="783">Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun</em>, arranged for winds by M. Bašs, opening up new textures while retaining the introspective atmosphere of the original. The two works by Latvian composer <a href="https://www.lmic.lv/en/composers/rihards-dubra-234#work" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong data-start="2394" data-end="2411">Rihards Dubra</strong></a> — <em data-start="952" data-end="961">Toccata</em> (for organ) and <em data-start="978" data-end="997">Awaiting the Dawn</em> (for organ and wind orchestra) — create a contemplative finale: music that bridges liturgical tradition with modern expressivity.</p>

<p class="" data-start="333" data-end="623">The second concert in the <em data-start="358" data-end="375">Summer Classics</em> series offers a colorful musical journey spanning three centuries — from the Baroque to the present day. A varied program that brings together the clarity of <strong data-start="460" data-end="485">Johann Sebastian Bach</strong>, the elegance of <strong data-start="513" data-end="540">Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart</strong>, and the bold sonic architecture of contemporary Dutch composer <a href="https://johandemeij.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong data-start="605" data-end="622">Johan de Meij</strong></a>. <strong>J. S. Bach’s</strong> <em data-start="1636" data-end="1671">Prelude and Fugue in B-flat major</em> (BWV 596), here in a wind orchestra arrangement by R. L. Moehlmann. This piece is, in fact, Bach’s organ transcription of Vivaldi’s Concerto in D minor (RV 565), an inspiring example of Baroque-era musical exchange and admiration. Organist <a href="https://en.lnso.lv/kristine-adamaite" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong data-start="634" data-end="655">Kristīne Adamaite</strong></a> will also perform the imposing <em data-start="1967" data-end="1997">Prelude and Fugue in C minor</em> (BWV 546), known for its grand, noble prelude and complex fugue. <strong>W. A. Mozart’s</strong> <em data-start="2078" data-end="2112">Bassoon Concerto in B-flat major</em> (KV 191), written at the age of 18, showcases the instrument’s lyrical and agile nature, interpreted by soloist Raimonds Gulbis. Two of Mozart’s rarely heard organ works — the lively <em data-start="2296" data-end="2311">Leipzig Gigue</em> and the delicate <em data-start="2329" data-end="2349">Andante in F major</em>, originally composed for mechanical organ — reveal the composer’s refined expression in miniature form. Concluding the evening are Johan de Meij’s symphonic works <em data-start="2513" data-end="2528">The Red Tower</em> and <em data-start="2533" data-end="2554">Echoes of San Marco</em>, contemporary soundscapes inspired by history and architecture.</p>

<p data-start="4128" data-end="4166">For over a decade, the <strong data-start="4191" data-end="4210">Summer Classics</strong> series has presented wind and organ repertoire in concerts that reimagine classical works for modern audiences. With thoughtful programming and inspired collaborations between Orchestra RIGA and Latvia’s leading musicians, the concerts attract seasoned listeners and newcomers alike. Orchestra RIGA’s artistic team continually explores the boundaries of what wind orchestra can achieve in dialogue with the organ—an instrument that is both architectural and expressive, especially when placed at the heart of one of the Baltics’ most iconic sacred spaces &#8211; Riga Cathedral.</p>
<p data-start="4128" data-end="4166">SUMMER CLASSICS concert series are presented with the support of the <strong data-start="4826" data-end="4837">State Culture Capital Foundation </strong>and the<strong data-start="4826" data-end="4837"> Riga City Council. </strong>Tickets are available at &#8220;Biļešu Paradīze&#8221; ticket offices, at the Riga Cathedral box office and <a href="https://www.bilesuparadize.lv/en/custompage/5136" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>online</strong></a>.</p>

The program is designed as a prayer for the victims of the repressions, commemorating events that touch not only the tragic pages in the history of Latvia, but also the suffering and pain experienced by other nations. The concert program includes compositions by foreign composers for chamber ensembles and wind orchestras &#8211; &#8220;Fratres&#8221; by Arvo Pärt, &#8220;Reverie&#8221; from the 5th symphony &#8220;Phoenix&#8221; by James Barnes, &#8220;Dona nobis pacem&#8221; by Ralph W. Williams and &#8220;Chaconne&#8221; by Johann Sebastian Bach. The concert program will be complemented by the compositions of two contemporary Latvian composers &#8211; Santa Ratniece&#8217;s meditative music &#8220;Pļavas&#8221; and Jēkabs Jančevskis &#8220;Un pret savu tautas dziesmu&#8221;, as well as Latvian music classic &#8211; Jānis Mediņš &#8220;Ārija&#8221;. Valdis Butāns, the orchestra&#8217;s artistic director and conductor, is at the conductor&#8217;s desk.</p>
<p>On April 7 at 19 o&#8217;clock  &#8220;Windstream&#8221; invites you to the <strong>Great Friday concert</strong> in Riga Cathedral.

<p>Continuing the tradition of the festival, the interactive, cooperation-based event for families and children <strong>&#8220;Colour games with the orchestra &#8220;Rīga&#8221;&#8221;</strong> will be held on April 10 at 16 o&#8217;clock in the Palace of Culture &#8220;Ziemeļblāzma&#8221;. Orchestra Riga will delight the youngest listeners and their families with a colorful, cheerful and exciting program, with the participation of the attractive soloist Daumants Kalniņš.</p>
<p>The<strong> closing concert of the &#8220;Windstream&#8221; festival &#8220;Jauns&#8221;</strong> will be performed on April 15 at 19 o&#8217;clock in the concert hall &#8220;Lielā ģilde&#8221;. It includes a new composition, premiere, by Rihards Zaļups (Symphony for Wind Orchestra), as well as musical nuances for a young mind, arranged by the orchestra &#8220;Rīga&#8221; together with the saxophone quartet &#8220;Atomos&#8221;. The sound of the classical wind instrument orchestra will be complemented by the rhythms of techno, electronic music, jazz, bebop. In the program (besides the already mentioned new work) – Mason Bates&#8217; &#8220;Mothership&#8221; and William Bolcon&#8217;s &#8220;Concerto Grosso for Sax Quartet and Band&#8221;.</p>

<p>The concert program will include two rhapsodies performed by Osokina and the orchestra &#8211; Raimonds Pauls rhapsody for piano and orchestra, George Gershwin&#8217;s &#8220;Rhapsody in Blue&#8221;, a selection of the most beautiful songs from the opera &#8220;Porgy and Bess&#8221; performed by the orchestra, and Antonio Carlos Jobim&#8217;s &#8220;bossa nova&#8221; musical pearl sung by Aija Vitolina together with the orchestra.<br />
&#8220;Bossa nova&#8221; is suitable for this celebration, which is characterized by lightness, airiness, joy and love,&#8221; thinks Aija Vītoliņa. &#8220;The upcoming concert is like a harbinger of the carefree spring that we are so looking forward to.&#8221;<br />
On the other hand, pianist Andrejs Osokins, the stronger gender soloist of &#8220;Valentine&#8217;s Day Dates&#8221;, expresses his joy about the repertoire entrusted to him: &#8220;It will be an opportunity to play the works of two masters, Gershwin and Pauls, who are equally brilliant in jazz and academic music, in one concert. It will be a challenge for the musicians and a special joy and pleasure for the listeners. This music thrills me to the core, so I am sure that the concert will not leave listeners indifferent and it will be a real Valentine&#8217;s Day celebration in music.&#8221;<br />
The artistic director and conductor of the concert is Valdis Butāns, the host of the evening is Raitis Zapackis.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><b> The RIGA Professional Symphonic Band </b>is the official orchestra of the Riga City Council. It was founded in 1972. Looking back on the past 40 years, some interesting facts come to the surface: between the 1960’s and 1970’s, not only was the first Latvian non-military symphonic band “Riga” founded (1972); the Latvian Philharmonic Chamber Orchestra (1967) and the chamber choir “Ave Sol” (1969) were also established, all of which greatly enriched the creative musical life of Latvia.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The RIGA Professional Symphonic Band founding is unmistakeably connected with its long-term chief conductor and artistic director <b>Gunars ORDELOVSKIS</b>(1927 Jelgava – 1990 Riga), professor at the J. Vitols Latvian State Conservatory, who was also dearly beloved as a conductor and composer for the combined wind bands at the Latvian Song Festivals and wind orchestra festivals.  G. Ordelovskis began his career as a musician in the Latvian Radio Symphony Orchestra (1945 -1950), and soon became the artistic director of the Philharmonic ensemble “Sakta” (1950, later named the “Daile”).  In 1953 he became the chief conductor of the Riga Operetta Theater.  At the same time, he worked as the director of the Latvian Radio “Country Band”, writing hundreds of folk song arrangements and original compositions in the folk style for his groups. He was also a pedagogue.  In the later years of his life, he realized a long-awaited dream – to found the first professional symphonic band in Latvia, which took place on September 6, 1972, with the name that honors Latvia’s capital city, Riga.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The remarkably active and diverse concert activity of the then newly-founded symphonic band was characterized by its participation in all of the Latvian Song and Dance Festivals, beginning in 1973, all of the Latvian KS <em>Music Days</em> (beginning in 1978 in Aluksne), all of the Latvian wind band festivals (beginning with the 5th in Ludza, 1979), as well as the Latvian Youth Song and Dance Festivals (beginning with the 4th in 1979), the international student festival <em>Gaudeamus</em> (from August, 1981) and in many other events. In these, as well as in the first tours abroad (Rostock – 1975, Moscow – 1976, Yerevan – 1981, Murmansk – 1984, Netherlands and Denmark – summer of 1990), the central place in the repertoire was always given to Latvian music, a part of which is found in the works of prof. Ordelovskis himself (approx. 660 pieces), as well as in the most diverse compositions by Latvian composers, from the 1950’s to the 1990’s, who embody an affinity with the Latvian musical spirit with the highest level of artistic achievement</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">During the early stages of the existence of the RIGA Professional Symphonic Band, G. Ordelovskis was supported by several assistant conductors who were specialists in the field of wind ensembles (<b>Janis Gercans</b>, <b>Janis Kronitis, Aivars Krumins</b>, and <b>Jakobs Raskins</b>).  Their role in working with the symphonic band over its 40 year history was more or less episodic in nature; however, a great investment in the ensemble’s artistic development was given by professor <b>Mendelis BASS</b> (1919 Riga – 2012 Riga).  He is at present an elder statesman among Latvian conductors and composers, who began his studies at the Latvian National Conservatory while Jazeps Vitols was a professor there (1937).  From 1974 he was fortunate to be able to work hand in hand with G. Ordelovskis as the second conductor of the RIGA Professional Symphonic Band.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">After the untimely death of G. Ordelovskis, an internal competition was held for the leadership position of the wind orchestra, and on November 13, 1991, this post was entrusted to <b>Janis PURINS </b>(born in the Dobele region, 1960), a trusted colleague of Ordelovskis, who eventually became an associate professor at the J. Vitols Latvian Music Academy and head of the Wind Department there.  After a concert tour in Spain in 1993, interaction between Latvian and foreign musical traditions increased dramatically, and the band’s musicians gained access to global trends in wind music in collaboration with the J. Vitols Latvian Music Academy.  Owing to the EU “<em>Erasmus Socrates</em>” programme, it became possible to meet many foreign specialists who visited Latvia and performed together with the RIGA Professional Symphonic Band. Janis Purins brought stability to the concert life of the ensemble (approx. 100 performances each year), and in 2004 he founded the concert series <em>“Musica sacra”</em> in Riga’s churches, as well as <em>“Euro Concerto”</em>.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The RIGA Professional Symphonic Band frequently performs under the baton of guest conductors, some of whom have been Arild Andersen (Norway), Leif Janson (Sweden), Pierluigi Destro (Italy), Bert Langeler (the Netherlands), Johann de Meij (the Netherlands), Egidijas Alisauskas (Lithuania), and Jan van der Rost (Belgium).</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">From 2007 till 2010, the artistic director of the RIGA Professional Symphonic Band was the young and talented conductor <b>Andris POGA </b>(born in Riga, 1980). In 2010 he won the Second Jevgeny Svetlanov International Conductors’ Competition in Monpellier, France and leaved his position at the RIGA Professional Symphonic Band.</p>

Pogas uzstādījums bija augsti profesionāla spēles kvalitāte un interesants koncertu repertuārs, kurā gan izcilu klasikas darbu pārlikumi (Orfa <em>Carmina burana</em>, Stravinska “Svētpavasaris”, Brāmsa “Vācu rekviēms”), gan jaunākās tendences pasaules <em>symphonic band </em>orķestru repertuārā, gan latviešu komponistu jaundarbi. Starp pēdējiem jāmin orķestra pasūtījumi: Ērika Ešenvalda kantāte “Latvija. Gadalaiku impresijas” (2008), Nika Gothama <em>Every Day</em> (2010), Viļņa Šmīdberga Simfonija (2010, saņēmusi Lielo mūzikas balvu kategorijā “Gada jaundarbs”), Andra Dzenīša <em>Drone</em> (2010), Ilonas Breģes Rekviēms (2010), Imanta Mežaraupa kantāte “Aizvestajiem” (2011). Andra Pogas vadībā Orķestris “Rīga” ieskaņoja divus ierakstu albumus: “Priecīgus Ziemassvētkus!” (2007) un <em>Windstream </em>(2008). Ik pavasari kopš 2010. gada orķestris rīko Pavasara festivālu <em>Windstream</em>, kas nu jau guvis lielu rīdzinieku atsaucību.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Diriģenta Andra Pogas un orķestra direktores <strong>Ilonas Breģes</strong> darbs 2008. gadā tika novērtēts ar Rīgas gada balvu kultūrā “Baltais zvirbulis”. Savukārt orķestris tika nominēts Lielajai Mūzikas balvai kā 2010. gada labākā muzikālā vienība Latvijā.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Četru gadu garumā, no 2011. gada sākuma orķestra mākslinieciskais vadītājs bija Jormas Panulas Starptautiskā diriģentu konkursa laureāts <strong>Mārtiņš Ozoliņš</strong> (18.05.1974). Viņa vadībā norisinājās orķestra 40 gadu svinības 2012. gadā un par jubilejas Galā koncertu “Mūzika iedvesmai” Orķestris “Rīga” saņēma Latvijas TV Gada balvu kultūrā “Kilograms kultūras”. Veiksmīgi tika aizvadīts Starptautiskais komponistu konkurss “<em>WINDSTREAM</em>  2014”, kas norisinajās J. S. Baha zīmē un bija viens no Rīgas kā Eiropas kultūras galvaspilsētas projektiem 2014. gadā. Latviešu komponistu jaundarbu klāstu papildināja darbi: Niks Gothams – <em>Step. Pivot. Stride</em> (2013), Koncerts alta saksofonam un pūtēju orķestrim (2013), Andris Dzenītis – Urbānā mesa (2014), Niks Gothams un Kārlis Auzāns – “Oda Jurijam Gagarinam” ar čellu trio solo (2012), Uģis Prauliņš – “Fantāzija” (2013).</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Sākās veiksmīga sadarbība ar maestro Raimondu Paulu, kas rezultējās trīs jaunās koncertprogrammās, kurās tika atjaunoti tādi skaņdarbi, kā svīta “Melnās krāsas”, “Rapsodija” klavierēm un orķestrim, vokālais cikls “Vecās Rīgas vitrāžas”un citas kompozīcijas. Līdzās M. Ozoliņam orķestrī līdz 2015. gada rudenim strādāja diriģents <strong>Raitis Ašmanis</strong>, kura pārziņā bija džeza, roka un <em>latino</em> koncerti. 2011. gada oktobrī orķestris “Rīga” sniedza divus koncertus Sanktpēterburgas konservatorijas Lielajā zālē un Mazajā zālē Rīgas dienu ietvaros. 2014. gadā koncertēja Pori, kas ir Rīgas sadraudzības pilsēta Somijā.  Tika ieskaņoti albumi “Rīga. Eglīte. Ziemassvētki” (2011) ar diriģentu Mārtiņu Ozoliņu un <em>Riga Jazz</em> (2014) ar Raiti Ašmani un Raimondu Paulu.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Sākot ar 2015./2016. gada sezonu, Orķestra “Rīga” mākslinieciskais vadītājs ir <strong>Valdis BUTĀNS</strong> (12.11.1981), jauns diriģents, pilns apņēmības realizēt vēl nebijušus koncertprojektus. Par tādu var uzskatīt amerikāņu komponista S. Makalistera darba “Merkūrijs uz mēness” atskaņojumu 2016. gadā, Pavasara festivāla <em>WINDSTREAM</em> ietvaros ar solistu Jāni Šipkēvicu. Valdis Butāns ir ieguvis maģistra grādu simfoniskā orķestra diriģēšanā J. Vītola Latvijas Mūzikas akadēmijā. Studējis Vīnes Mūzikas un izpildītājmākslas universitātē pie profesora U. Lajoviča, piedalījies diriģēšanas meistarklasēs pie L. Kēlera, P. Burina, J. Simonova, Ž. Naģa. Bijis Karela Marka Šišona asistents Rīgā un 2012./2013. gada sezonā Zārbrikenes Kaizerslauternes SWR Vācu radio filharmoniskajā orķestrī. Divas sezonas strādājis Latvijas Nacionālajā operā, kur diriģējis izrādes “Lučija di Lammermūra”, “Bohēma”, “Mazais skursteņslauķis”,  kā arī bijis iestudējuma “Figaro kāzas” muzikālais vadītājs.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> Pie orķestra “Rīga” diriģenta pults koncertos arvien biežāk ir redzami jauni, perspektīvi diriģenti – Guntis Kuzma, Kaspars Ādamsons, Jānis Retenais, Andis Klučnieks, Mārcis Miķelsons, Dāvis Jurka. Paplašinās to latviešu komponistu loks, kuri atsaucas aicinājumam un komponē skaņdarbus īpaši Orķestrim “Rīga”: Rihards Zaļupe – “Palatīna svētki” (2014), Linda Leimane – <em>Art Deco</em> (2015), Džekins Pousons – <em>Leaves Upon the Wind</em> (2015), Santa Bušs – “Domas, manas domas” (2015), Jēkabs Nīmanis – “Nākotnes cilvēki” (2015), Platons Buravickis – “Tāda es esmu” (2015), Jēkabs Jančevskis – “Klusiņām jūra tek …” soprāna un kokles solo, jauktam korim un pūtēju orķestrim (2016), Selga Mence – “Laika vējos” soprānam, mecosoprānam, jauktam korim un pūtēju orķestrim (2016), Imants Zemzaris – “Arkādija” (2016), Andris Sējāns – “Karavāna” (2016).</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Orķestris “Rīga” šobrīd pozicionējas kā koncertorķestris, kas uzstājas Rīgas pilsētas svētkos un valstiski nozīmīgās dienās, sniedz koncertus Rīgas koncertzālēs un Rīgas Domā, aicina mazos klausītājus uz sarunām par mūziku kinoteātrī <em>Splendid Palace, </em>atskaņo visdažādāko stilu skaņdarbus, allaž meklē jauno un neatklāto mūzikā.</p>
