On the evening of Saturday, August 15, the White Hall of Rundāle Palace hosted a classical music concert performed by the Liepāja Symphony Orchestra.
The program centered on two masterworks of the Viennese classical era: Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's Oboe Concerto and Ludwig van Beethoven's Fifth Symphony. Both pieces are considered cornerstones of the classical music repertoire and are frequently performed in concert halls around the world.
A Latvian touch
While the concert's core focus was on works by foreign composers, the program also featured a piece representing Latvian symphonic music — the Melancholy Waltz by Emīls Dārziņš. This composition brought a more lyrical mood to the evening, complementing the grander works of the Viennese classicists.
The White Hall of Rundāle Palace, known for its historic architecture and acoustics, has long served as a popular venue for classical music concerts during the summer season, attracting both local and foreign audiences.
