European Christmas Festival. Winter Jazz Evening. TRIO ELPO and Matīss Čudars

Winter jazz at Spīķeri Concert Hall brings together guitar virtuoso Matīss Čudars and jazz ensemble TRIO ELPO, featuring pianist Edgars Cīrulis, double bassist Jānis Rubiks, and drummer Rūdolfs Dankfelds.

In the first part of the concert, TRIO ELPO will perform music that creates a space for tranquillity – a place to come together, find respite, and immerse oneself in sound. It is a perfect soundtrack to the Latvian winter and to our nation’s introverted nature, our longing for healthy solitude and contemplation.

In the second part of the concert, Matīss Čudars will join the trio on stage. Exploring new musical territory, the musicians will perform Matīss’s original compositions and improvisations, as well as, of course, some of the most radiant Christmas melodies in fresh jazz arrangements.
