The music of Nino Rota and Ennio Morricone is a love confession to cinema - in Federico Fellini’s self-reflective La Strada and in Giuseppe Tornatore’s memory scene Nuovo Cinema Paradiso, each frame is filled with endearing care and the bittersweet sorrow so characteristic of Italian music. Fierce satire and fantastic hope will be the overarching themes of fragments from Kurt Weill’s The Silver Lake: a Winter's Fairy Tale, while George Gershwin’s An American in Paris will heartily enjoy the brilliance of the capital of France in a whirlwind of gershwinic quintessence of style. The Symphony No. 8 of the Estonian composer Erkki-Sven Tüür will reveal an alarmingly real scene with a dark cauldron bubbling with metallic hammers and a pinch of grotesque heresy. Alongside these visually stimulating depictions - the tragedy of a girl in Aivars Kalējs’ new work Victima innocente, in which the chamber orchestra Sinfonietta Rīga will reunite with the French trumpeter and laureate of the prestigious Victoires de la Musique award Romain Leleu to bring about a true sonic theatre.
