Valters Puce, Artur Cinguyev and Hamidreza Rahbaralam (Latvia)
The unusual concert format, leaving on the background the academic canon, allows to percept the music as it is completely from a new aspect and immediately, without putting a stress on a composer’s personality or on certain pieces of music, or on times they were composed. Classics and modern compositions that stood the test of time harmonically merged into united, harmonious, well designed program concept, breaking the superstitious musical perception margins – by cancelling the devision between academic „serious” and popular „light” music. The musicians’ mastership is equal as when virtuoso playing „light” music, as when interpreting lightly and simply „serious” music. The marvelous team-work of the musicians, their filigree playing technique and delicate interpretation of musical images will serve the audience as a sound guide in the world of music. This journey beyond the boundaries of time and space, with music as the main acting person, will join the musician from Iran Hamidreza Rahbaralam.
