The place where East meets West, this place exists as a geographical point in the map, as well as a place in every single soul, where our mind meets our feelings, where our thoughts and emotions abide in harmony.

Art, music and poetry can unite us – everyone living in the West and in the East, grown in different traditions, speaking different languages, complicated, distinct and ingenious.
All of us are the children of Earth and let the musical event of this autumn help us feel that all of us have in common love to our near and dear ones, beauty of this world, depth of our feelings and emotional experiences, inspiration and joy.

We invite all of you to share this wonderful festival of music and culture, which is the third in succession and which is traditionally held in autumn in the hospitable capital of Latvia, in the city of Riga.
