This year, the concert hall "Latvija" launched an organ music concert series, which invites listeners to experience the diversity of organ music on Sundays. The final concert of this year will be performed on Christmas Eve – December 26 at 1:00 p.m. The concert "Organ Music at Christmas" will feature organist Larisa Carjkova and mezzo-soprano Baiba Renerte with a light musical program specially selected for this holiday. The concert series will continue next year.
The concert "Organ Music at Christmas" will feature works by both foreign composers and Latvian authors (music by J. S. Bach, S. Frank, W. A. Mozart, J. Lūsēns, R. Dubra and other authors). Regarding the selection of pieces for the concert program, the musicians say: “On the brightest holiday of the year, we want to give our listeners a musical journey into the world of peace, faith, goodness and warmth of heart. At the concert, you will hear pieces that are special to us during this holiday season and that we want to share with our community.”
Larisa Carjkova graduated from the Jāzeps Vītols Latvian Academy of Music, earning a bachelor's degree in piano and a master's degree in organ (in the class of Prof. Tālivalžs Dekšnis). She also studied at the University of Music and the Performing Arts Stuttgart, but has furthered her skills in Sweden, Germany and Lithuania with such notable organists as Tons Kopman, Karin Nelson, Joris Verdin, Gary Verkade, Joel Sperst, François Espin and Ligita Sneibe.
Baiba Renerte graduated from the Latvian Academy of Music in the class of Prof. Anita Garanča, receiving a master's degree. She made her debut on the stage of the Latvian National Opera in 2004 in the role of Orlovsky in J. Strauss's operetta The Bat. The singer's repertoire includes roles in several LNO productions - Donna Elvira in W. A. Mozart's opera Don Juan, the Second Lady in W. A. Mozart's Magic Flute, Bradamante in G. F. Handel's Alcina and other characters. The singer has also participated in many productions of large-scale works and her repertoire also includes vocal cycles. Baiba Renerte's broad vocal capabilities and talent as an actress have been proven in musical projects of various genres.
