This tone also dictates how the orchestra sounds. This part of the concert will be presented by Upatnieks. Mean- while, Raivis Māgurs, and his tuba, serves as "fundamente" for the orchestra. Most often the instrument supports the orchestra and 11 EVENTS

It is safe to say that without Schu- mann there would have been no Brahms, not to mention the warm and maybe even romantic lifelong friendship between Brahms and Schumann’s widow. Great Guild
