Joyce DiDonato, mezzo-soprano

Chamber orchestra “Il Pomo d’Oro” (Italy)
Conductor – Maxim Emelyanychev

One of the greatest contemporary singers, three-time Grammy Award winner – Joyce DiDonato, for the first time in Latvia. The star of world opera will present her new project – “Eden”. The concert program will feature music by Handel, Purcell, Mahler, Wagner and Ives.

The new project of Joyce DiDonato called “Eden” was created not only as a concert, but also as a program of a pedagogical and interdisciplinary nature. It is based on the singer’s desire to explore the connection of each person with nature and the impact of individual actions on the planet. In collaboration with the orchestra “Il Pomo d’Oro”, DiDonato has come up with a repertoire that deepens this theme through a variety of musical languages, from the 17th century to Rachel Portman, the British composer who won an Oscar for the soundtrack to the film “Emma” (1996) and who was commissioned for the play “The First morning of the world”, specially for this project.

The ensemble “Il Pomo d’Oro” , an authentic baroque band, will perform with the famous mezzo-soprano.

Together with the young musicians, the experienced and excellent double bassist Grigory Kovalevsky will perform. We will hear the cheerful "Seasons" of Vivaldi, based on the text of Italian sonnets, and the author of these lines may have been the composer himself. Bird songs, happy farmers, nymphs and the changing of the seasons - all this can be heard in this music. Along with Vivaldi, Tchaikovsky's "Seasons" will also be played. The composer included all the months of the year in the cycle, characterizing them either in the form of a mood or with some special event. The cycle was once commissioned by him by the St. Petersburg music publication "Nouvellist", in whose pages the corresponding "Seasons" composition appeared every month. At the end of the concert, the "Four Seasons of Buenos Aires" by Argentine tango master Astor Piazzolla will be played. This melancholic music permeated with passion will vibrate the soul strings of every listener.
Davinspiro camerata is a string chamber orchestra created by Daniil Bulajev, which unites the most talented young Latvian artists studying in Latvia and abroad.

In monologues, Alexander talks with subtle irony about young people, interpersonal relationships, male-female conflicts, drinking, silly questions, school years and the entertainment industry. The humorist focuses on stereotypes and patterns in people's behavior.

For the first time in Latvia, the famous Ukrainian choreographer and director Oļena Koliadenko's ballet "Freedom Ballet" will perform in the Dzintari concert hall with the dance show "SKAPIS".

The legendary Ukrainian ballet "Freedom" recently celebrated its 20th anniversary, and its entire biography would be difficult to fit even in the world's largest book. But the last decade of their incredible journey has been put in… “The Closet”!

"Skapis" is more than a dance performance - it has become the quintessence of the vision of the creative world of "Freedom Ballet" and hides the whole universe of director and director Olena Koliadenko and her indispensable dance theater family.

The "closet" will be opened to you as a "living museum" with very personal stories and specific people. Just you, 14 dancers and their poignant stories. The aim of the dance experiment is to get to know yourself so deeply that you can do without masks. But the main participant in the experiment is still the viewer.

The show is intended for adult viewers, people with life experience, and it is designed so that you walk on the edge of purely human emotions: joy, sadness, fear, disappointment, admiration. The production has elements of an immersive performance that involves the audience in the story.

Part of the funds earned at the concert will be directed to the support of the Ukrainian army and Ukrainian families affected by the war.

Ballet "Freedom" has played more than five thousand dance and theater performances during its career, as well as participated in the most important television projects in Ukraine and abroad. The collective has performed to great acclaim in more than 30 countries, starred in more than 50 projects by leading artists and collaborated with the legendary Cirque du Soleil, where they shared the stage with burlesque star Dita Von Teese.

Ilze Laizāne obtained a master's degree in both painting (2011) and graphics (2014) at the Latvian Academy of Arts. She has been a member of the Artists' Union of Latvia since 2018 and a member of the Jūrmala Artists' Association since 2016.

Since 2011, the artist has held more than 16 solo exhibitions in Latvia and one solo exhibition in France, Kabūra. Over ten years there have been more than 40 exhibitions, symposia and art projects.

The artist is actively involved in creative processes both in Latvia and beyond its borders - in Italy, Belgium, Austria, Lithuania, Germany, France, Belarus and elsewhere.

Figurative painting has played a major role in Ilze Laizāne's works, she herself admits that the human figure has always appealed to show the beauty of body shapes. The works show that the figure's expression and gestures are depicted with anatomical precision.

"Large format is important to me, so that I can paint people in life size," explains the artist and adds: "I use a lot of color combinations in my work, I like to experiment with color contrasts."

It gives the expected result because the paintings attract the eye and are bright. The artist's favorite color is red in various shades and shades: "I like bright colors, maybe because I am energetic inside, and I try to express that in my works."

The transition from the gray shades of winter to bright colors, waiting for summer, in the Jūrmala Culture Center will be rapid, thanks to the artist's joy of life and energy, which can also be felt in her works.

Showroom opening hours Mon-Fri at 13.00 – 18.00, Sat at 12.00 – 18.00.

Free entrance.

July–August on Fridays: the summer concerts will feature musical performances by both local and international artists, who will play music matching the colours and the mood of summer.

This year, Jūrmala will host the 4th International Biennial "Marīna", which focuses on personal mythological experiences of the sea and how these experiences have shaped habits, rituals, traditions and their reflection in the works of art.

Anyone who has spent the time at the seaside as a child has come across a story or a mythical adventure that seems to have no logical explanation. The sea is more familiar to those who grew up near it. Their childhood memories also include a story or a game related to the unknown nature, joy, fear and magic of the sea.

The main event of the Biennial is the painting competition exhibition at the Jūrmala Museum.

More than 250 dolls on display: collection dolls, limited edition Barbie, Monster high, Ever after high, Bratz, Disney and more. 

Tickets: from 3EUR.

Tickets are available at the entrance.

The exhibition "Beginning. 50" by the painter Valdis Bušs is dedicated to commemorating the 50th anniversary of the artist's first solo exhibition.

This year we celebrate an important event in the artist's life - fifty years have passed since the first solo exhibition. In the fall of 1972, Valdis Bušs, a man in his mature years (48), exhibited his paintings for the public for the first time and anxiously awaited the opening of the exhibition at the Jurmala Museum of History and Art. The framing of the paintings has also been preserved and restored as it was then, in 1972.
