Piedalās:
Annija Kristiāna Ādamsone (soprāns)

Valsts akadēmiskais koris “Latvija”
Liepājas Simfoniskais orķestris
diriģents Andris Vecumnieks

Programmā:
Agris Engelmanis (1936-2011) Rekviēms
Ēriks Ešenvalds (1977) “In Paradisum” (pirmatskaņojums)
Andris Vecumnieks (1964) Sinfonia G (pirmatskaņojums)

Liepājas Simfoniskais orķestris aicina uz koncertu, kas veltīts Agra Engelmaņa 90. jubilejai.

Engelmanis ir viens no nozīmīgākajiem 20. gadsimta otrās puses Latvijas modernisma pārstāvjiem, kura mūzika izceļas ar emocionālu dziļumu un avangardisku vienkāršības un sarežģītu struktūru apvienojumu. Viņa darbi vairākkārt atskaņoti Dziesmu svētkos.

Programmā savijas komponista mūzika un dzeja, godinot viņa radošo mantojumu un piedāvājot jaunas interpretācijas, tostarp īpaši šim notikumam radītus pirmatskaņojumus.

Koncertā skanēs Engelmaņa Rekviēms – darbs, kas pirmatskaņots 1995. gadā Lielajā Ģildē, taču palicis nepabeigts. Pēc orķestra iniciatīvas rekviēma noslēdzošo daļu “In Paradisum” radījis Ēriks Ešenvalds, un šajā koncertā tā piedzīvos pirmatskaņojumu.

Pirmo satikšanos ar publiku piedzīvos arī Andra Vecumnieka jaunākais darbs – vokāli instrumentālā Sinfonia G Saule ar Engelmaņa dzeju.

“Simfonijas G galvenā ideja un muzikālais pamats ir Agra Engelmaņa dzeja. G = Sol = Saule = Engelmaņa “Saules” dzeja,” uzsver Andris Vecumnieks. “Viss šo rindu saturs – “Es palieku ēnā nesaprasts” ir ieslēpts orķestra kodā – tā ir šī satura instrumentālā mūzika bez vārdiem, kas piešķir koncertam īpašu dziļumu un aicina klausītājus atklāt Engelmaņa dzejas un mūzikas pasauli no jauna skatupunkta.”

Jaundarbu Liepājas Simfoniskais orķestris atskaņos kopā ar Valsts akadēmisko kori “Latvija” un solisti Anniju Kristiānu Ādamsoni.

ENGELMANIS’ REQUIEM AND THE SYMPHONY OF THE SUN

Featuring:
Annija Kristiāna Ādamsone (soprano)

State Choir Latvija
Liepāja Symphony Orchestra
conductor Andris Vecumnieks

Programme:
Agris Engelmanis (1936-2011) Requiem
Ēriks Ešenvalds (b. 1977) “In Paradisum” (premiere)
Andris Vecumnieks (b. 1964) Sinfonia G (premiere)

Agris Engelmanis (1936–2011) is regarded as one of Latvia’s most distinctive and significant composers, whose creative life was deeply connected to the city of Liepāja. His music is marked by profound emotional depth, avant-garde thinking, and a unique ability to combine simplicity with complex musical structures. Engelmanis’ works have been performed at the Latvian Song and Dance Festival, and he is considered a representative of post-war Latvian modernism—an artist whose work often anticipated its time.

In April 2026, we mark the 90th anniversary of Engelmanis’ birth. To honour his legacy as a composer, educator, visual artist, and cultural figure, the Liepāja Symphony Orchestra presents a concert featuring his Requiem—a work premiered in 1995 at the Great Guild in Riga, yet left unfinished. At the orchestra’s initiative, the final movement, In Paradisum, has been composed by Ēriks Ešenvalds and will receive its world premiere at this concert.

The concert also features the premiere of Andris Vecumnieks’ latest symphonic work — Sinfonia G, or Symphony in G major. This new composition includes vocal elements based on Engelmanis’ poetry, establishing a poetic and musical dialogue between generations.

Engelmanis’ poetry is lyrical and philosophical, woven with imagery of nature, silence, and reflections on the passage of time. Its simplicity conceals emotional and intellectual depth, where sun, snow, and cranes become metaphors for the human inner world.

The new composition will be performed by the Liepāja Symphony Orchestra, the State Choir Latvija, and soprano Annija Kristiāna Ādamsone.

The concert also features the premiere of Andris Vecumnieks’ latest work — the vocal-instrumental Sinfonia G Sun with Engelmanis’ poetry.

“The main idea and musical foundation of Symphony G is the poetry of Agris Engelmanis. G = Sol = Sun = Engelmanis’ ‘Sun’ poetry,” emphasizes Andris Vecumnieks. “The entire content of these lines—‘I remain misunderstood in the shadow’—is encoded in the orchestra; it is the instrumental music of this content without words, which gives the concert a special depth and invites listeners to discover the world of Engelmanis’ poetry and music from a new perspective.”

The new composition will be performed by the Liepāja Symphony Orchestra, the State Choir Latvija, and soprano Annija Kristiāna Ādamsone.
