Jauniešu kora BALSIS īsfilma KLUSUMA AUGĻI (2020. decembris)

Jauniešu kora BALSIS tradīcija jau 25 gadu garumā ir Ziemassvētku koncerti Rīgas Sv. Pestītāja (Anglikāņu) baznīcā. Šogad, kad Latvijā ir izsludinata ārkārtas situācija un amatierkori nevar pulcēties kopīgiem mēģinājumiem un koncertiem, jāatrod cits risinājums tradīcijas turpināšanai. 2020. gada koncertiem tika izvēlēta Ziemeļeiropas komponistu mūzika, kas būtu skanējusi trīs koncertos, katrā divas daļas.

Šogad BALSIS satiks savus klausītājus videoformātā. Tapusi īsfilma, kuras mērķis ir parādīt kaut nelielu daļu no plānotās koncertprogrammas un ierastajām tradīcijām, ienesot svētku sajūtu ikkatra klausītāja mājvietā.

Klusuma augļi pirmizrāde notiks 2020. gada 25. decembrī plkst. 12.00 Jauniešu kora BALSIS sociālo tīklu vietnēs Facebook, Youtube, kā arī kora mājaslapā balsis.lv. Pēc pirmizrādes tā būs pieejama neierobežotu laiku, lai svētku sajūtu varētu gūt it ikkatrs sev piemērotā laikā un vietā.

Īsfilma tapusi pateicoties Rīgas Domes Izglītības, kultūras un sporta departamenta atbalstam.

Youth Choir Balsis Christmas Concert 2020

This year we will still have our Youth Choir Balsis Christmas concert, but instead of it being possible to hear it three times, as usual, this year it is up to you, choose the play button as many times as you want to!

Obviously, it won’t be the usual two-part programme that Balsis usually performs in the Anglican Church in Rīga, but you will still be able to hear the essence of this programme. It is the 24th Christmas concert programme that the artistic director, Ints Teterovskis, has conducted. For his relatively new assistant conductor, Laura Elizabete Godiņa, it is her first Christmas concert with Balsis. Laura and the choristers have designed a programme which has a somewhat Scandinavian flavour, with the envisaged programme containing songs from the Baltics and Scandinavia. The choir has prepared several Swedish and Norwegian songs but a cycle of Reinis Sējāns songs was also intended. This year’s current “essence “ programme won’t allow for that, but hopefully, it will be performed live in its entirety in the future. As well, Balsis along the New York Latvian Choir have recorded it and the new album will soon be accessible worldwide. You can also listen to it on Spotify.

Currently, you are about to enjoy an excerpt of the planned Christmas programme. This consists of three songs, from the heart and, importantly continuing a tradition, from the Anglican Church in Rīga. The choristers start with a Swedish song, which is then followed by a Norwegian folksong. Naturally Silent Night, Holy Night is part of the concert, this time as arranged by Uģis Prauliņš. But wait! That’s not all! There is another tradition that we continue with this concert. The Christian Heinrich Rinck and Johans Vilhelms Hejs song “Every year the Christ child comes again…” is traditionally performed at the Balsis Christmas concert – not just by the choir but with the audience singing along. So please join us! Merry Christmas!
