    Celebrating music from the Baltic States and North America with an eclectic mix of songs both sacred and secular by composers including Pärt, Dubra, Esenvalds, Lauridsen, Whitacre, Gershwin and Bernstein.

    The audience will be treated to two entertaining choral medleys featuring the most suave and sophisticated theme tunes from the James Bond films and popular songs from the hit musical Porgy and Bess including, “It Ain’t Necessarily So” and “Summertime”. Another highlight will be an extraordinarily beautiful arrangement of the famous hymn “Amazing Grace” by Latvian composer Eriks Esenvalds.
