Liepāja hosts third annual ‘Tavā un manējā Liepājā’ music festival
The music festival ‘Tavā un manējā Liepājā’ was held on August 14 and 15 at the ‘Pūt, vējiņi!’ concert garden in Liepāja. Now in its third year, the event expanded to a two-day format for the first time.
The program featured two distinct themes. The first, ‘Tavā un manējā Liepājā | ImKa’, celebrated the 85th anniversary and works of composer Imants Kalniņš. Performers included Ainars Mielavs, Agnese, Igo, Kristiāna Stirāne, and Gundars Grasbergs, with musical accompaniment by pianist Juris Kristons.
The second theme, ‘Tavā un manējā Liepājā | Liepājnieku zelta dziesmas’, focused on the golden era of Liepāja pop and rock music. Soloists such as Ainars Virga, Uldis Marhilevičs, Igo, Ance Krauze, Emīls Balceris, and Marats Ogļezņevs performed alongside pianist Jānis Strazds. The event also included a night supplementary concert, hosted by Maija Kalniņa and Valdis Skujiņš.
