Pēc Eiropas Grand Prix titula iegūšanas 2004. gadā kori uzaicināja pie toreizējās Valsts prezidentes Vairas Vīķes-Freibergas, kurai vienmēr simpatizējis mūsu kolektīvs – ar viņas svētību esam kuplinājuši daudzus valstiski svarīgus notikumus gan Latvijā, gan citās valstīs. Toreiz, pieņemšanā, bija neaprakstāmi omulīga gaisotne – runājām, jokojām, apspriedām nākotni, tad prezidente pēkšņi ieminējās, ka latviešiem ir tik daudz skaistu, muzikāli pilnvērtīgu tautasdziesmu par Sauli. Un ideja kā dzirkstele uzšķīlās, līdz pārvērtās par ugunskuru kora piecpadsmit gadu jubilejas kulminācijā koncertā Latvija – Saules zeme 2005. gadā, un tagad dzimst mūsu radītā Saules sistēma – Pasaules Saules dziesmas. Kora piecpadsmit gadu svinības bija ārkārtīgi spilgts mirklis, kas iesniedzās nākotnē ar vērienīgu mantojumu – no astoņām koncertā izskanējušajām dziesmām četras tika iekļautas Dziesmu svētku repertuārā. Lielisks sasniegums. Uzdrošināšanās Notikuma starojums bijis tik spēcīgs, ka idejas turpinājums atnāca, atkal negaidot. Tomēr tas nebija nejauši. Tikko bijām uzvarējuši koru olimpiādē Ķīnā, kas bija patiesi smags pārbaudījums, – līdz tai bijām piedalījušies daudzos elitāros pasākumos Eiropā, bet tādu spēku atdevām pirmoreiz. Taču gandarījums pēc paveiktā arī bija proporcionāls padarītajam. Atgriezāmies Latvijā, kādu laiku atpūtāmies cits no cita. Atkalsatikšanās reizē ar kora menedžeri kādā vasaras novakarē apsēdāmies pie galdiņa kafejnīcā Vecrīgā. Nebija karsts, tomēr saule, spraucoties cauri bagātīgajiem vīteņiem, žilbināja acis. Iespējams, tā bija saules radītā mirāža, kuras ietekmē nospriedām turpināt Saules tēmas attīstību. Tomēr korim jau ir astoņpadsmit gadu, esam kļuvuši pietiekami spēcīgi, lai uzdrošinātos. Izvēle Mīlestība. Tas ir galvenais iemesls, kāpēc Pasaules Saules dziesmu koncerta sarakstā ir atrodami šo septiņpadsmit komponistu vārdi. Uzrunājām galvenkārt tos, kurus iemīlēja kora dalībnieki, daudzus gadus muzicējot. Sākotnējā ideja gan ir mainījusies: skaņražiem pasūtījām piecu minūšu garu opusu, kurā Saules tēma ievītos caur viņu nācijas folkloras prizmu. Koncertā Latvija – Saules zeme katrs atskaņotais skaņdarbs bija tapis citā stilistikā, ar skaidri defi nētu individuālu rokrakstu, bet pēcgarša gan bija ļoti līdzīga: Saule latviešiem ir spīdeklis, pēc kura ilgojas, kura siltuma un gaismas alkstam ilgajā krēslas periodā. Mēs katrs – skaļi vai klusi, apzināti vai nejauši – pielūdzam to. Neviens no mums nav saskaitījis, cik reižu dienā piesaucam Sauli! Tas būtu labs eksperiments. Veidojot koncerta Pasaules Saules dziesmas programmu, gribējām saprast dažādo tautu Saules izjūtu, bet secinājums tomēr ir nemainīgs – visur, kur saules stari sasniedz zemi, pēc tās ilgojas. Pat bušmeņi, kuru diena paiet neizturamā svelmē, ilgojās pēc gaismas un siltuma devējas aukstajās tuksneša naktīs. Patiesībā Saule ir mūsu ilgu objekts tieksmē pēc sirds siltuma, ķermeņa labsajūtas un Dieva meklējumos. Brīvība Sākotnējo ieceri – folkloras elementu ievīšanu – drīz vien ar vieglu roku mainījām, ļaudami izteiksmes brīvību. Katram komponistam ir sava vērtību sistēma, kurā mums nav tiesību iejaukties un arī nevajag. Vienādojuma zīme dara dažreiz svētīgu darbu, bet bieži vien noņem tikai Saules gaismā ieraugāmo plašo krāsu spektru. Mīlestība Katrs Pasaules Saules dziesmu jaundarbs ir kā atzīšanās mīlestībā Saulei. Katru darbu esmu gaidījis kā bērniņa piedzimšanu. Kā mēs zinām, tādos brīžos notiekošo regulē mistiskais spēks, kas rada brīnumus. Arī mūsu koncerts izveidojies kā vienots cikls – mūzikas valodas dažādību dramaturģiski savij saturiskais vadmotīvs: Saule kā Dieva iespēju un ģenialitātes dzirksts, Saule kā palīgs, lai varētu redzēt. Redzēt to atspulga mazumiņu no Pasaules dailes, ko pieļauj mūsu mirstīgā cilvēka acs, jo patiesais diženums nav skatāms Šaizemē. Saule Mana attieksme pret Sauli dzīves laikā ir mainījusies. Skolas laikā izvairījos – nekad negāju sauļoties, bet laika gaitā mūsu attiecības ir uzlabojušās. Latvijas ziemas pelēkais periods, kaut gan ir visdarbīgākais, tomēr zemapziņā kultivē depresīvas sajūtas. Tas ir laiks, kad tērējam vasarā uzkrāto Saules enerģiju. Cik taupīgi un lietderīgi – tā jau ir katra izvēle, bet uzpildīšanās kāre ziemā kļūst jo asa. Tas ar laiku atver mūs Saulei – pavasarī piemiegtām acīm raugāmies tajā, vasarā sildām sānus un vaimanājam par tās svelmi, rudens dienās peldamies tās maigumā. Un visu šo laiku – mēs klusi atzīstamies Saulei mīlestībā. Saules sistēma Mēs katrs dzīves laikā radām Saules sistēmu miniatūrā – izvēlamies draugus, pavadoņus, laižam pasaulē bērnus, paši nosakot notikumu un cilvēku kustības virzienu. Un šajā procesā nejaušību nemēdz būt. Koris Kamēr... manā Saules sistēmā ir jaunības un mīlestības planēta. Valsts 1. ģimnāzijā nonācu, it kā garāmejot, lai aplūkotu vietu un aprunātos par piemērotu diriģentu, kas vadīs topošo kori. Kā iegāju skolā, tā ar kori esmu jau astoņpadsmit gadu. Jauniešu dzīves uztvere, garīgais svaigums un tīrība, kā arī spēja uzticēties bez aizdomām ir kā magnēts. Mūsu sadarbībā ir abpusējs enerģijas starojums: diriģents degs, un koris iedegsies, koris raidīs patiesas aizraušanās impulsus – diriģents tieksies aizvien augstāk. Mēs radām cits citu: mēģinu rādīt viņiem tās iespējas, kas pastāv ārpus ierastās pieredzes robežām, ārpus standartiem. Mēs esam veselums – vienība, kas spēj mobilizēties, noskaņoties virsuzdevumam, konkrēta tēla atklāsmei un mūzikas laikā kļūt par sajūtu radītājiem. Ik reizi radot savu – Saules sistēmu. The Word Things always seem to happen so simply and smoothly. But later, we fi nd out it was all very logical and controlled. After winning the grand prize at the European Grand Prix for Choral Singing, in 2004, the choir was invited to a reception given in its honor by the Latvian President at the time, Vaira Vīķe-Freiberga. We have always been very fond of President Vīķe-Freiberga; with her blessing, the choir has enriched many important state events both in Latvia and abroad. But that day, during the reception, everyone was in an indescribably pleasant mood – we talked, joked around, and discussed the future. The President mentioned that the Latvians have so many beautiful, musically superb folk songs about the sun. This sparked an idea, which eventually turned into a bonfi re – made manifest in the form of the choir’s fi fteenth- anniversary concert, Latvija – Saules zeme (“Latvia: Land of the Sun”), in 2005. And now that idea has given rise to our own solar system: the World’s Sun Songs project. The choir’s fi fteenth-anniversary celebration was a brilliant moment that reached deep into the future with its extensive legacy. Of the eight songs performed at the concert, four have been included in the Song Festival repertoire – a remarkable achievement. Courage The radiation emitted by the fi fteenth-anniversary celebration was so powerful that the further development of our idea came about quite unexpectedly – but not accidentally. We had just won the World Choir Games in Xiamen, China – a truly diffi cult challenge. Until then, we had participated in many elite events throughout Europe, but this was the fi rst time we had expended such a great degree of strength. Nevertheless, the sense of fulfi llment following our victory was perfectly proportional to the amount of eff ort we had put into achieving it. After returning to Latvia, we took a break from one another for a while. One summer evening, I met the choir’s manager again at a café in Old Riga. It wasn’t hot, but the sun, poking through the dense ivy, dazzled our eyes. Perhaps it was a solar mirage that infl uenced our decision to continue developing the theme of the sun. But the choir is eighteen

    Baltic Sea Discovery Tour 2016 Baltic Sea Philharmonic Welcome Thank you for joining us for the latest chapter of our story – our ‘Baltic Sea Discovery’ tour. The journey of discovery is an important one for us all as human beings, and especially for musicians and music lovers. The end point may be finding exciting new places, people, things or knowledge, but often it’s the actual process of discovery that leaves the greatest mark on us. The musicians of the Baltic Sea Philharmonic, together with Kristjan Järvi, will be making and offering many discoveries on this tour – travelling to new cities, collaborating with new partners, performing rarely heard music and playing to new audiences, some of whom have never heard classical music live before. But more than all of this, they will have their eyes and ears open to the world and the people around them. As Proust said: ‘The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes.’ We look forward to sharing our new vision with you. beyond music More than the music notes on the page Find out about our motivation and our journey, as well as about the concert schedule and the pieces you will be hearing. beyond borders 06 Borders exist only on maps: we are teaching students to be free in their thinking and in their music Travel in time with us through our past achievements and into our future ambitions. 28 beyond culture We have evolved from a youth orchestra into a social movement Discover Kristjan Järvi’s mission and Gidon Kremer’s beyond views about the future of music, and meet Kremerata countries Baltica and Lidia Baich.

  • Kremerata Baltica Artistic Director – Gidon Kremer Twenty Years Ago
    Kremerata Baltica Artistic director – Gidon Kremer Twenty years ago Gidon Kremer created ideal conditions for a musical revolution. The internationally acclaimed violinist unveiled his new initiative at Austria’s Lockenhaus Festival in the summer of 1997. The birth of Kremerata Baltica – comprising twenty-three outstanding young musicians from Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia – was greeted with a standing ovation. The orchestra has since captivated audiences worldwide with playing of unrestrained joy and programming of limitless imagination. Kremerata Baltica arose from Gidon Kremer’s determination to share his rich experience with young colleagues from the Baltic States. The ensemble’s preparation process, which holds no room for artistic compromise, is ruled by a commitment to excellence and creative daring. In addition to exploring works from the repertoire mainstream, Kremerata Baltica has also delivered world premieres of compositions by, among others, Lera Auerbach, Leonid Desyatnikov, Giya Kancheli, Arvo Pärt, Georgs Pēlecis, Alexander Raskatov, Valentin Silvestrov, Victor Kissine, Sofia Gubaidulina and Pēteris Vasks. Kremerata Baltica’s repertoire breadth is reflected in an award-winning discography that spans everything from Mozart’s complete violin concertos with Gidon Kremer, Enescu’s Octet and Astor Piazzolla’s Tango Ballet to first recordings of music by Kancheli, Kissine and Pärt. After Mozart on Nonesuch Records won Grammy and ECHO Klassik awards in 2002, while albums of works by George Enescu and Mieczysław Weinberg have since secured Grammy Award nominations. Kremerata Baltica has performed in over 50 countries, presenting over 1,000 concerts in 600 cities. It makes regular appearances at many concert series and festivals, including Berlin’s Schloss Neuhardenberg, Bavaria’s Schloss Elmau and others.
