VILIM Concert with a Wind Orchestra in Ogre

On 14 November at 16:00, a concert for VILIS with a wind orchestra will take place in the Great Hall of Ogres novada Kultūras centra. Vilis Kokamegi, one of the most prominent figures in Latvia’s wind orchestra movement, celebrates his 80th birthday this year. Vilis is the long-standing artistic director and conductor of the wind orchestra “Horizonts,” chief conductor of wind orchestras, and organiser of many musical events. His lifetime contribution to Latvia’s musical life—particularly to promoting wind orchestra music and educating young musicians—is invaluable. The concert features Ogres novada Kultūras centra folk wind orchestra HORIZONTS and artists dear to the jubilarian. Tickets: €7; €5 with an Ogres novadnieka card/app. The event may be filmed and photographed. The resulting material may be used for publicity purposes.
