Summer Night Chamber Music at Zuzeum Art Centre
For the fourth year, Zuzeum Art Centre and chamber orchestra Sinfonietta Rīga invites the audience to spend a few velvety warm August nights in the company of wonderful music and friendly atmosphere. For a long weekend, let’s enjoy chamber music masterpieces from various eras, presented by the brilliant soloists of Sinfonietta Rīga, and not yet think about the autumn for a little while.
This year’s concert guests will be presented a new experience of the ‘Summer Night Chamber Music’ concerts – musical experience will take place in the Great Exhibition Hall. As a part of the concert programme, a special selection of paintings from the Zuzāns Collection will be exhibited. In line with the diverse musical programme of the four evenings, the selection will consist of art created from the 19th century to the present day – modern references to luxurious baroque, classical and industrial romanticism. In this interaction of music and art, every concert guest will have the chance to find their own associative connections.

🎭 The celebration of French Baroque: candles and lace, velvet and turquoise hairpins, passionate affairs and brilliant intrigues, graceful and elaborate musical compositions. Along with the well-known Couperin and quite popular Rameau, on our stage we will welcome a few other, infrequently heard guests – the less productive, but always innovative Montéclair, the highly-regarded protege of Madame de Pompadour, Mondonville, the virtuoso Barrière, who passed away prematurely, admired by his contemporaries, and last, but not least, the court darling Clérambault, a grandmaster of cantatas.
