On July 12 at 7 PM in the concert garden "Put, vējini!" under the leadership of the chief conductor Guntis Kuzma the Liepāja Symphony Orchestra will performe with the world-famous jazzman Julian Joseph, playing "Rhapsody in Blue" by the legendary American jazz composer and pianist George Gershwin.
Julian Joseph is one of the finest, most influential and highly respected musicians in British jazz today. Devoting his career to championing the music across the UK and into the far corners of the world, he has forged a reputation beyond his formidable skills as a performer and composer to become universally recognised as a highly knowledgeable and engaging broadcaster, musical ambassador and cultural advocate.
Concert will be complemented by famous flamenco dancers - Letizia Dominguez and Manuel Bellido.
Dancers from Flamenco Agency will be collaborating with Liepāja Symphony Orchestra to perform music by Spanish artists Manuel de Falla and Gerónimo Giménez as well as Spanish influenced music by George Bizet.
