According to Rinta Bružēvica, a representative of VSIA “Latvija Koncerti”, “Delfi” will present not only one bright image, but the main means of expression will be the music of the great greats of the past Claudio Monteverdi, Antonio Vivaldi, Johann Sebastian Bach and Georg Friedrich Handel.
Jolanta Strikaite-Lapiņa, Dināra Rudāne, Atis Ieviņš, Jānis Strazdiņš, students of the Jāzeps Vītols Latvian Academy of Music, students of the Riga School of Choreography and the Riga Dome Choir School, as well as an instrumental group led by Pēteris Vaickovskis will take part in the performance. Narrator – musicologist Karina Bērziņa.
Karina Bērziņa, the producer of “Latvijas Koncertu”, musicologist, says: “We, the creators of the children’s concert, clearly know that our young listeners do not yet consciously perceive what adults are looking for and find in ancient music – harmony, peace and clarity. Monteverdi, Vivaldi, Bach and Handel, the composers of the play “Swans of the Forest”, will be heard by children, but it is the children who will perceive how the good and the evil meet in the fairy tale, and how the evil queen and the cunning Bishop are opposed by Eliza saves with his courage, perseverance and love. And there is no doubt that all the participants of the play will portray the heroes entrusted to themselves with the brightest musical colors. “
