Description:

Winner of Latvia's "Music Grand Prize"! Variations for Orchestra! Peteris Plakidis was born in Riga. He studied composition at the Emils Dalszinch Music Academy and at the Jázeps Vítoris State Conservatory (now the Latvian Academy of Music). His music is not numerous, but his style of vividly telling "stories" in a very accessible musical language has been well received by performers and audiences alike, and has been featured repeatedly in concert programs after its premiere. Variations for Orchestra" and "Looking Back," which is considered a "boundary marker" of Plakidis' creation, four pieces from the Latvian National Symphony Orchestra's repertoire will be performed under the direction of Vasily Sinayski (b.1947), who served as chief conductor from 1976 to 1989.
