Concert series PERSONALLY

One of the best recorder players of the world, Erik Bosgraaf from the Netherlands, has created an exquisite program throughout the eras together with harpsichord player Ieva Saliete. It will feature works by rarely performed Italian, Spanish, and Dutch masters, opuses by late German baroque geniuses Telemann and Bach, as well as brief expeditions of the historical instruments into contemporary music.

It will bring fresh colors into the sound of the recorder and harpsichord, and both musicians will show their skill as solo performers. Ieva Saliete will perform the fantastically captivating ‘Continuum’ for the harpsichord by György Ligeti, whose centenary is celebrated this year, as well as the pensive ‘Thread’ by Matīss Čudars, which was premiered in the spring of 2023 in the USA and will finally make it to Latvia.

As with all concerts of the series Personally, the audience will be able to meet the musicians after the concert to enjoy informal conversations about their creative paths, sources of inspiration, and challenges, in the 2nd floor gallery.
