St Peter’s Church Performing in St Peter’s Church is a truly memorable experience. Added to the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1997, the church is a vast building with a height of 30 meters and imposing acoustics.
Sigulda Evangelic Lutheran Church A striking 19th century church in white stone in the centre of the Sigulda town, approx. 50 Km from Riga. Concerts here are very well supported by the local community.
St John the Baptist Church Perform in the oldest place of worship in Riga. Dating back to the thirteenth century, this Evangelical Lutheran place of worship has great acoustics, and is used regularly for choral concerts and for organ recitals.
St Saviour’s Anglican Church The Church serves the English speaking community in the city and actively supports concerts and other cultural activities. Lunchtime concerts at 1pm are well-attended and well-advertised locally.
Riga Cathedral Music has held a great place in the Cathedral’s life throughout the centuries. Nowadays, numerous concerts are organised throughout the year and choirs of a high standard can sing at Mass or perform a concert.
