Along with the release of the motion picture “Dvēseļu putenis” (Blizzard of Souls), its creators wanted to bring back and honor the songs of the Latvian Riflemen, reminding us of the great power and national pride music can hold. In 2019, an album of Riflemen songs was created featuring ten songs in arrangements by Reinis Sējāns. In Liepāja, they will be particularly magnificent, performed in new symphonic arrangements by Andris Sējāns. The project Ieklausies dvēseļu putenī will shine in its symphonic glory thanks to the Liepāja Symphony Orchestra.
In the second part of the concert, we will celebrate the independent state of Latvia. The soloists will perform songs united by themes of love for our land, our country, our nation, and our roots. They are songs that evoke patriotic feelings and awareness of the Latvian identity, such as “Es izjāju prūšu zemi”, “Zaļā dziesma”, “Dzimtā valoda”, “Kalniem pāri”, and others.
