The LNSO leaves the Great Guild for two years: discover the new venues


With the start of its 99th concert season, the Latvian National Symphony Orchestra (LNSO) is taking a step out of the ordinary by leaving its home, the Great Guild, for the duration of renovation works. However, the orchestra has ensured that the new season is full of exciting musical adventures, continuing to delight audiences at Hanzas Perons, the Riga Latvian Society House, the Daile Music House, as well as concert halls throughout Latvia.



On 17 May, the Great Guild will host the final concert of the 2023/2024 season, which will be the last event before the Great Guild closes its doors for two years to undergo major renovations.

In the new season, not only will the orchestra be visiting new venues, but the repertoire also promises to be full of magnificent musical surprises. There will be symphonic music concerts featuring renowned Latvian and international artists, as well as the audiences' favourite LNSO chamber music series concerts. As usual, younger listeners will be brought on musical adventures by the orchestra's friends: LeNeSOn the puppet and Goran Gora (Jānis Holšteins‑Upmanis) the storyteller.


A perhaps unexpected, yet wonderful reunion will take place just a few days before the grand season opening concert on Thursday, 19 September, at 7 PM at the Small Hall of the Dzintari Concert Hall in the concert Vineta Sareika and Tarmo Peltokoski: Chamber Music. Vineta Sareika, Latvian violinist, the LNSO's Artist-in-Residence, and concertmaster of the Berlin Philharmonic, and Tarmo Peltokoski, the LNSO's Music and Artistic Director, will offer the audience exquisite performances of exemplary chamber works, this time with Peltokoski taking the stage as a pianist.
