Children and youth concerts

Do you want to see your children and pupils educated, cultured and spiritually enrichened? We, Latvijas Koncerti, having been acting in the sphere of musical education of school youth already for years, can help you inviting children and young people to the concert cycle for school youth, “Music for You”.

VSIA Latvijas Koncerti has set musical education of children and youth as one of the basic goals of its activity. We offer splendid large-scale concerts to our audience where music is frequently supplemented by other expressive branches of art. Being aware that our children and youth use to listen to quite another type of music as part of their daily routine, we are ready to offer the best attractive musical performances covering various genres of music: this will be classical music as well as jazz and rock music. We’ll continue interconnection of music and cinematography demonstrating on the screen fragments with rare, unusual  musical instruments and legendary soloists. Also, fragments from movies will be presented where music has a special role – the thing we cannot show you “in live”. The concerts are intentionally compiled so as to cover manifold genres that correspond to the perception of all age groups of pupils (the content of the concerts is revealed in the table below).
