Concert “Rock and Organ for Liepāja”. Additional concert

On October 3 at 20:00, audiences are invited to an unforgettable concert, “Rock and Organ for Liepāja”, at Liepāja’s Lutheran Church.

For the first time, the concert organization Okoncert will visit Liepāja – known for blending classical music with rock, combining the majestic sound of the organ with electric guitars and vibrant lighting to create a one-of-a-kind experience.

The concert will feature legendary rock compositions by “Pink Floyd”, “The Rolling Stones”, “The Animals”, “Queen”, and “Deep Purple”, alongside iconic songs by Latvian rock groups. As the rock capital of Latvia, Liepāja will be represented with music by “Pērkons”, “Līvi”, “Liepājas Brāļi”, and excerpts from Zigmars Liepiņš’s rock opera “Lāčplēsis”. A special new arrangement will be created for the “Liepāja Song”, chosen through a public vote. Everyone is invited to vote at ej.uz/roksliepaja until August 20.

The concert will feature four acclaimed Latvian musicians:

• Ilona Birģele, the principal organist of Riga’s St. James Cathedral with broad international experience;
• Virdžīnija Laube-Vītiņa, percussionist of the Latvian National Opera Orchestra and Wind Orchestra “Rīga”;
• rock band “Laime Pilnīga” members Mārcis Vasiļevskis (guitar) and Ervīns Ramiņš (bass guitar, vocals).

Familiar rock hits will resonate in the unforgettable atmosphere of Liepāja’s Lutheran Church, adding a unique and powerful sound to every note.

Designated seating is available for audience members in wheelchairs. Concert organizers will assist with access to the church through the side entrance. Please note that wheelchair-accessible restrooms are not available inside the church, but can be found nearby at the Liepāja Olympic Centre. Sign language interpretation will not be provided.

Admission is allowed from age 6. The concert is loud and features video projections.

Audience members will be seated in the main hall and balcony, while musicians will perform from the balcony, with multiple screens ensuring visibility for all.

The event will be conducted in Latvian, but songs will be performed in Latvian and English. No language knowledge is necessary to enjoy the concert. Tourist-friendly for international visitors.

The concert is organized by “Baringtons K2” in collaboration with “Okoncert”, with financial support from the “Liepāja 2027” Foundation and the Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Latvia as part of the “Rock the rock” program.
