In this concert at the art gallery, music meets painting. We will listen to a wonderful interplay between the cello and harpsichord when two old friends and like-minded musicians, the harpsichordist Aina Kalnciema and Germany-based cellist Ramón Jaffé, meet in a programme of Baroque and contemporary music. They will take us on a musical history-filled journey, from the ancient pieces by Bach and Handel to original works by our contemporaries, Pēteris Vasks, Juris Karlsons and the cellist Ramón Jaffé.

The programme comes with a surprise, a performance by the cellist Margarita Balanas who is a soloist at the festival gala ‒ she will transform the mood of the concert into colour, painting accompanied by live music.
