Winter chamber music.
In the concert "Dolcissimi sospiri" or "Gentle Sighs", the story of a loving soul will take the audience through the language of sound art from different styles and countries, showing the French, English and Italian Baroque, where sacred and secular music collide. The programme will be permeated by moving lamentations, wistful dissonances and triumphant coloratura strings.
Alongside the works of the famous composers Henry Purcell, Claudio Monteverdi, Antonio Vivaldi and Georg Frideric Handel, the concert will also feature opuses by lesser heard composers such as Alessandro Grandi, Giovanni Bononcini and Michel Pignollet de Montclair.
Participants: Dou Poetico (Switzerland) - Gunta Smirnova (soprano), Rafael Ter-Sahakian (baroque violin) - and Lorenzo Abate (theorbo).
Tickets are available at the ticket sell points of Biļešu paradīze and online or at the ticket office of the Riga Cathedral.
