Last weekend, the University of Latvia (LU) Wind Band proudly represented Latvia at the prestigious “Flicorno d’Oro” competition in the Italian city of Riva del Garda, participating in one of the highest – Superior – categories.
This is the second most difficult of the five possible levels of difficulty, in which orchestras that demonstrate the highest technical and musical preparation are evaluated.
The orchestra had to master a particularly complex repertoire. The LU Wind Band performed Thomas Doss’s “Van Gogh” as a mandatory piece and Serge Lancen’s “Symphonie de Paris” as an optional piece.
