Program:
Anna Wibe “Spectrum” – World Premiere

On September 13, composer Anna Wibe (Anna Vibe-Gorkuša), together with the Ventspils Big Band, will present her latest album “Spectrum,” which includes compositions specifically written for a big band. This promises to be a unique musical experience that reflects both the emotional and musical spectrum that Anna Wibe has skillfully woven into her compositions.

The newly created compositions will sound unique, fresh, and contemporary, composed in a modern jazz style. The program’s diverse pieces will highlight the big band’s wind section as a musically strong and tonally versatile unit, the rhythm section and piano with technical and rhythmic prowess, as well as the talented soloists with their freedom of improvisation and musicality.

Anna Wibe has participated in various music projects across the Baltic states, Denmark, Sweden, Italy, and Bangladesh. In 2020, Anna released her debut CD album, “Anna Wibe – Vibes.”

Soloist Linda Kanter from Estonia has established herself as a very virtuoso and extraordinary performer both in the Baltic states and beyond.

Trumpeter Gatis Gorkuša is one of the most talented Latvian musicians, actively performing with the Latvian Radio Big Band, “The Sound Poets,” and other well-known ensembles.
