Selga Mence’s String Quartet premiered in March 2012, when it was played by the string quartet of the Sinfonietta Rīga Chamber Orchestra in Spīķeri Concert Hall. On November 28, the second public performance of the work will take place in the Golden Hall of the Riga Latvian Society. Selga Mence says: “I have not given a programmatic name for my new composition, but each part has a name -” Making a melody “,” Threads and knots “,” Thoughts “,” Movement “. . The unity of a composition is formed by the links from the end of each part to the beginning of the next. ”

Singer Ieva Parša has chosen to include the cycle “Twelve Songs for Voice and Piano” in the concert program with the lyrics of Latvian folk songs in 1985, composed of Latvian folk songs. On the anniversary of Krišjānis Barons’ 150th birthday. The theme of folk songs is widely covered here – from the songs of the adjoining people to the dinner of the daughters, from the New Year to the song of the clean-up, with lyrically poetic moods from “The Moonlight Star” to “Austra meta canvas”. The composer has masterfully created a self-composed melody for each line of the folk song text. Many of these songs are included in the repertoire of vocalists, but the cycle has not been performed in Latvia for several decades. Paul Dambis’ song “Angel” with poetry by Kārlis Skalbe will premiere in the concert. This song, written in 2017, is dedicated to singer Ieva Parša.
