35th Anniversary Concert

March 30, 2025 at 1:35 am

Celebrating their 35th anniversary, the Riga Orthodox Chamber Choir “Blagovest” and the choir's artistic director Aleksandrs Brandavs invite you to a festive concert at the Riga Cathedral on April 21 at 19:00.

The concert program, celebrating along with choir's anniversary also the brightest Christian holiday of hope – Easter, will feature specially selected pieces by outstanding composers: 18th-century Orthodox sacred music concerts by Maksym Berezovsky and Artemy Vedel, 20th-century sacred pieces by Georgy Sviridov, and Arvo Pärt’s emotionally moving composition for choir and symphony orchestra “Adam’s Lament”. But the highlight of the concert will be joint performance of Dmitry Bortniansky's sacred concert “Te Deum” together with the choir guests: the orchestra "Daugavpils Sinfonietta" (artistic director Jevgenijs Ustinskovs), the chamber choir "Accolada" (artistic director Oksana Čerkasova) and the mixed choir "Muklājs" (artistic director Jānis Kokins).

The festive concert will be a special musical event and a deep spiritual experience that will fill the vaults of the Riga Dome Cathedral and the hearts of the audience with hopeful harmony and soulful sound.

About the choir

Riga Orthodox Chamber Choir BLAGOVEST from Latvia was founded in 1990 with an aim to popularize forgotten treasures of Russian sacred music, which makes the most part of the choir's repertoire. 

The choir has wide range of interests: from monophonic neumatic chants, called znamenniy raspev, based on Byzantine church music up to contemporary composers’ quests of spirituality. Various secular compositions of outstanding Russian, Latvian, and Western composers are included in the choir's repertoire as well. Read more
