In the beginning of February, Latvian Radio Choir will go on a tour to the Netherlands, where in the time period between February 7 and February 10, it will perform four concerts at the Large Hall of the famous "Concertgebouw" concert hall in Amsterdam, as LETA learned from the Latvian State Radio's spokeswoman Ilze Vasermane.

The choir will perform Valentin Silvestrov's "Diptychon", conducted by the Latvian conductor Sigvards Klava and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's "Requiem" with the Netherlands Chamber Orchestra's chief conductor and artistic director Yakov Kreizberg.

For the concerts, the choir will be joined by world-wide acclaimed soloists – one of the currently leading Danish sopranos Henriette Bonde-Hansen, outstanding Croatian Baroque music interpreter and mezzo-soprano Renata Pokupic, Lithuanian tenor Edgaras Montvidas, who performs at the London "Covent Garden", Frankfurt, Munich and Bavaria operas; as well as the Netherlands opera soloist and German bass Georg Capenfeld.

Sigvards Klava, conductor of the Latvian State Choir underlines that due to its his quality and prestige, it is every musician's dream to perform a concert at the Amsterdam "Concertgebouw".

The only group of Latvian musicians to have performed at the "Concertgebouw" so far, were the chamber orchestra "Kremerata Batica".

After Brussels, the choir will perform also in Rotterdam.
