Latvian composer Pēteris Vasks is often mentioned in the same breath as his Estonian colleague Arvo Pärt, and no wonder: both composers’ music has a soothing, mind-clearing effect.
Counted among the international choral elite, the Latvian Radio Choir serves up a musical banquet for Vasks’s 80th birthday in April 2026 with a selection of songs calling for calm. Organist Tuomas Pyrhönen puts the cherry on the cake by playing Vasks’s song for peace, Cantus ad pacem.
