Liepāja Symphonic New Year's Eve Concert has become a beautiful and sparkling tradition at the turn of the year celebrations, always resulting in a full house at the “Lielais dzintars” Concert Hall, gathering music and celebration lovers from all over Latvia and neighbouring countries.
This year, the Liepāja Symphony Orchestra under the direction of its chief conductor Guntis Kuzma, will take the audience on a trip to distant Argentina, famous for its passionate tango rhythms and melodies.
The king of tango Astor Piazzolla and other composers and Ksenija Sidorova, known as the Princess of the Accordion and the world's topmost ambassador of the accordion in the 21st century, whose brilliant technical mastery and emotionally intense sense of music offers the audience an unforgettable experience, will come together in music.
“Sidorova has the sort of virtuosity that is revelatory, in the proper sense of the word. She makes you aware that the accordion can be as lyrically graceful as a violin, and is also capable of producing bewitchingly strange, modern-music sounds.”
THE TELEGRAPH
“Clearly a master of the instrument, Sidorova draws out an amazing variety of colors and textures from these pieces. She captures every subtle change in inflection, articulation, and mood: wistful and fragile one moment, sultry and lavish the next.”
