At Flagey’s request, the Latvian Radio Choir and BL!NDMAN (sax) have created a unique show pairing Early and Contemporary music. The young Latvian Jekabs Nimanis has been tasked with composing a piece for a quartet of saxophones and choir with particular specifications. The concert will start in total darkness, with light gradually returning throughout the performance.
