Liepāja Symphony Orchestra to perform at Warsaw Philharmonic

The Liepāja Symphony Orchestra, led by chief conductor Guntis Kuzma and featuring violinist Kristīne Balana, will perform at the Warsaw Philharmonic on November 27. The concert is part of the 8th Eufonie International Music Festival for Central and Eastern Europe, an event organized by the Polish National Centre for Culture.

The program is designed to represent the musical traditions of the Baltic Sea region, specifically Poland, Latvia, and Finland. The repertoire includes Henryk Mikołaj Górecki’s ‘Three Pieces in Old Style’, Jean Sibelius’s ‘Adagio’, and Pēteris Vasks’s ‘Vox Amoris’, the latter featuring Balana on violin.

Orchestra director Uldis Lipskis noted the symbolic importance of the performance, citing the historical ties between the Kurzeme region and Poland, as well as the orchestra's growing international recognition.
