The LIEPĀJA SUMMER festival, annually organized by the Liepāja Symphony Orchestra, is the spiritual heir and continuation of the legendary summer symphonic music cycle LIEPĀJA SUMMER.
Last year, the “Liepāja Summer” Festival returned to its historic home by the seaside – Liepāja Jūrmala Park, in the renovated Concert Garden “Pūt, vējiņi!”, where during three grand concerts the audience was offered a great amount of different genres, styles and eras.
Started in 1881, the tradition of giving symphony concerts has become an integral sign of the cultural identity of Liepāja City. Powers have changed, the city itself has changed, the stages built for open-air concerts also change, however, enjoying music on summer evenings surrounded by the tender breath of the sea reverts to the spirit of our city's life over and over again.

For decades, in Liepāja, on the open-air stage of seaside park, on warm summer days, Liepāja residents and health resort visitors with all their families would enjoy symphonic music concerts. Back in 1783, this initiative was started by then the Duke of Courland Peter von Biron. Such famous words as Giora Feidman, Gidon Kremer and Kremerata Baltica, Avi Avital, Tokiko Kato, Maija Kovaļevska, Wilhem Latchoumia and others have been heard at the festival.
