In 2026, from March 1 to 14, the Liepaja International Star Festival - one of the most important events in classical music in Latvia - will take place for the 34th time, which every year brings together outstanding artists from Latvia and abroad.
The Festival, organized by the Liepaja Symphony Orchestra, has become an integral part of Liepaja's cultural life, offering bright concerts, high -quality repertoire and unforgettable musical adventures.
One of the most striking events at the Festival will be the performance of the world -famous Japanese pianist Hiromi together with the Liepāja Symphony Orchestra. Hiromi, whose concerts are a combination of improvisational freedom and technical mastery, will perform with a symphony orchestra for the first time in Latvia.
In addition to this special evening, the festival will also offer a series of other equally bright concerts: on the opening evening on March 1, violinist Yuki Hirano and clarinetist Annelien Van Wauwe will perform; on March 8, Reinis Zariņš will perform Rihards Dubra's award-winning piano cycle "Visions of the Way of the Cross. Light"; on March 13, a chamber music evening will take place, and on March 14, the festival will close with a collaboration between Roland Pöntinen and Christian Lindberg with compositions by Robert Schumann and Carl Nielsen.
Tickets for the Festival concerts can be purchased at "Biļešu Paradīze" ticket offices and www.bilesuparadize.lv.
