For many centuries, Riga Cathedral has been one of the most important concert venues, not only in Riga but also in all of Latvia. Even today, regular evening concerts with music from different epochs take place in the Riga Cathedral, where the outstanding and unique organ of the cathedral can often be heard - an example of the highest achievements of late romantic period organ building, built by E.F. Walcker & Co in the years 1883/1884, which is unparalleled in Europe.
