It is staggering to know the wonderful richness of Jānis Mediņš’ musical expression and also to know that he was self-taught. Some of his music has become so ingrained in the Latvian subconscious that Latvians think it is folk music. Yet there are many works almost no one has ever heard, and some of them will be brought to light in Reinis Zariņš’ new album dedicated exclusively to Jānis Mediņš’ music. The concert in OLA FOUNDATION will serve as the album launch event, but will also present other composers’ music.

The new album will be released on SKANI, and the concert audience members will have the opportunity to purchase the new album and have it signed by Reinis Zariņš.
