This reimagining of the hall’s ground-floor art space, Civita Nova, aims to make it a place for working, socializing, and participating in creative and community activities.

Conductor Ainārs Rubiķis will lead the Liepāja Symphony Orchestra, presenting a selection of orchestral dances by Latvian composers, featuring both ballroom and folk dance motifs.

On Saturday, 9 November, the Liepāja 2027 Foundation and the Liepāja Central Scientific Library invite all local residents and city guests to join in celebrating the library’s 247th anniversary.

During the festival, the region’s delicacy – the lamprey, fished from the Saka River by Pāvilosta’s own fishermen – is honored.

The programme is designed to actively engage young people in the cultural development of Liepāja as the European Capital of Culture 2027.

From culture and arts to sports, business, and community initiatives, the city will come alive with activities designed to engage locals and visitors.

The festival begins on Friday, 27 September at 18:00 with the opening of the visual art exhibition “Growth Stories”, curated by Inese Rozentāle, in the Great Amber Concert Hall’s art space “Civita Nova”.

As part of the festival, the “Liepāja 2027 Foundation” (“Nodibinājums Liepāja 2027”) organizes an artist residency.

With the Liepāja Symphony Orchestra’s season-opening concert, the Great Amber Concert Hall will soon launch an exciting and active concert season.

Under the inspiring theme “CultureGROWTH. Facing the Future,” this event brings together seasoned and emerging cultural professionals, librarians, museum staff, private sector representatives, and NGOs, as well as anyone with a passion for culture.
