About this event
This is a symphonic and choral concert built around two successive works: Richard Wagner's Wesendonck Lieder, followed by Gustav Mahler's Second Symphony, identified by the official presenter as the "Resurrection". The program therefore moves from a solo vocal work with orchestral accompaniment to a large-scale symphonic work with choral and solo vocal forces. The named forces are mezzo-soprano Elīna Garanča, soprano Liene Kinča, State Choir LATVIJA, and the LNSO, conducted by Karel Mark Chichon. The event page identifies Māris Sirmais as the choir's artistic director. The LNSO describes the engagement as a reunion with Garanča and its former artistic director Chichon after a longer pause, and places the concert at Riga Congress Hall. The concert concludes the LNSO centenary celebration series. No director, theatrical staging, scenic design, costume design, lighting design, or choreographic concept is specified in the event materials.
