In many cultures, jasmine is associated with purity, love, and hope. Its blooming&mdash;especially after darkness or winter&mdash;is often interpreted as a symbol of rebirth. Similarly, Gramzda Church itself stands as a symbol of enduring hope: destroyed and burned multiple times, yet always restored.<\/p><p>Anton&iacute;n Dvo&#345;&aacute;k&rsquo;s American Quartet&mdash;one of the most frequently performed chamber music works&mdash;brings warmth, homesickness, and melodic vitality to the programme. Meanwhile, the works of contemporary composers&mdash;Mario Carro&rsquo;s Dance me, Valentin Jost&rsquo;s Here &amp; Now, and &Eacute;ric Sammut&rsquo;s Rotation 4&mdash;offer three distinct voices that speak of movement, presence, and the inner world of the human spirit.<\/p><p>The South Kurzeme Festival &ldquo;Rimbenieks&rdquo; is implemented within the framework of the &ldquo;Liep&#257;ja 2027&rdquo; programme, with funding provided by the Ministry of Culture, the State City of Liep&#257;ja, and the municipalities of South Kurzeme and Kuld&#299;ga. The festival is supported by LSEZ Terrabalt SIA.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":8583,"template":"","event-location":[213],"event-category":[104],"event-accesibilty":[97,96],"class_list":["post-8677","event","type-event","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/liepaja2027.lv\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event\/8677","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/liepaja2027.lv\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/liepaja2027.lv\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/event"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/liepaja2027.lv\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/8583"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/liepaja2027.lv\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8677"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"event-location","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/liepaja2027.lv\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event-location?post=8677"},{"taxonomy":"event-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/liepaja2027.lv\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event-category?post=8677"},{"taxonomy":"event-accesibilty","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/liepaja2027.lv\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event-accesibilty?post=8677"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
