Programme: Jānis Mediņš At the Church, Ludwig van Beethoven Symphony No. 9

Miniature and symphony. Contemplation and manifesto. Candlelight and burning star. Jānis Mediņš and Ludwig van Beethoven. The Latvian and the universal. Placing both pieces alongside one another reveals not just these, but also many other aspects to consider – the local and the global; the worldly and the otherworldly; everyday compassion and utopian brotherhood of man.
