Northern Lights.
Northern Lights features an hour exclusively devoted to Scandinavian and Baltic music every fortnight. There are no limits to our quest surrounded by old and new, known and less known. And we like to include the whole spectrum of classical music and crossovers as well. Today’s episode features works from Sweden and Latvia. From Anders Hillborg with a substantial work for orchestra and choirs to piano work by the young Latvian Santa Ratniece.
