Zigmars Liepiņš Anniversary Concert In The National Opera

Zigmars Liepiņš made his debut as a composer in the mid-1970s, and since then, has created amazingly diverse music: sorrowful melodies, catchy pop songs, memorable ballads, etc. But most of all people in Latvia love Liepiņš’ rock operas. His “Lāčplēsis” was the symbol of Latvia’s independence movement. In the concert, the sought-after violinist Kristīne Balanas performs the Violin Concerto, followed by the suite “The Red Forest” and grandiose “Mass 2020”. The star organist Iveta Apkalna performs the organ part, the Latvian National Symphony Orchestra is conducted by the composer’s son Jānis Liepiņš, also the 1st Kapellmeister at the Nationaltheater Mannheim.
