Traditional jazz and evergreen melodies from around the world, from a time when the grass was greener and life was sweeter.
The romantic atmosphere of the Concert Dome awaits you on the banks of the Daugava River. Regardless of the weather conditions, your evening in the dome will be a success.
What to expect? Choose your type of participation - a table with snacks, or a chair with a glass of wine. We recommend enjoying a romantic Friday evening with snacks provided by the gourmet shop "Lauva". During the break, there will be a "Buffet" - we will share cake and coffee with all visitors. They say that a concert is successful if it features at least one Raimonds Pauls song and there is a buffet. This concert will definitely be a success.
