🎶 Zuzeum Art Museum continues its tradition of enriching the exhibition experience with musical events and invites you to a special evening in the exhibition “Collections.”

📅 Saturday, 28 March, 18:30
📍Great Exhibition Hall 
🎟 Tickets are available at Zuzeum ticket desk, www.zuzeum.com, bilesuserviss.lv, and Biļešu Serviss box offices.

Trio Tresensus’ concert in the exhibition “Collections” is a musical walk through the Zuzeum exhibition space, where sound becomes another form of collecting. Much like the exhibition itself, the concert is conceived as an event shaped by association and intuition: short sonic episodes, performances, solos, duets, and trio pieces that bring the collection to life in the presence of the audience.

Each musical moment is connected to a specific artwork – its colour, title, material, gesture, composition, or emotional atmosphere. In some cases, these connections are direct; in others, they emerge through association. The programme brings together classics of Latvian music – Pēteris Vasks “Balta ainava (White Scenery )”, Pēteris Plakidis “Divas skices (Two Sketches),” and Romualds Jermaks variations on “Aiz ezera augsti kalni (Beyond the Lake are Tall Hills)” – with contemporary works, improvisation, sound experiments, and performative elements. Alongside pieces dedicated to Trio Tresensus by Anna Veismane, Diāna Gritāne, and Kārlis Rērihs, the concert will also feature arrangements by the musicians themselves of miniatures by Uģis Prauliņš and Gundega Šmite.

The concert does not follow a single linear dramaturgy – listeners are invited to move through the space and experience the music spatially. It is an open and fluid format that encourages the audience to appreciate the diversity of the artworks and the new meanings that emerge when visual art interacts with music.

In this project, Trio Tresensus – kokle player Līga Griķe, saxophonist Aigars Raumanis, and percussionist Uģis Upenieks – create a living dialogue with the Zuzāns Collection, revealing it as a sonic landscape. This is not only a concert experience, but an invitation for each visitor to create their own collection of associations.

About musicians

Trio Tresensus – synthesis of three instruments and feelings which brings the audience into the world of undiscovered sounds, moods and atmospheres. Since December 2015, three creative and talented musicians – Līga Griķe (kokle), Aigars Raumanis (saxophone), and Uģis Upenieks (percussion) – have come together in a musical journey, exploring new colours, sensations, and sound worlds.

In 2023, the trio released its debut album, “VARIATIONS,” and for 2025 the ensemble was nominated for The Grand Music Award in the category “Outstanding Work in an Ensemble”.

Trio Tresensus has collaborated with singers Renārs Kaupers, Paula Saija, and Ieva Parša; poets Ilmārs Šlāpins, Inga Pizāne, Marija Luīze Meļķe, and Rihards Ošenieks; accordionist Artūrs Noviks; organist Aigars Reinis; electroacoustic music composers Madara Pētersone and Platons Buravickis; analogue synthesizer virtuoso Reinis Rabenau; as well as the orchestra Sinfonia Concertante and conductors Andris Vecumnieks and Artūrs Oskars Mitrevics.

The chamber ensemble has attracted the attention of several contemporary Latvian composers, and more than thirty works have already been dedicated to this unique line-up. The trio also gladly collaborates with composers of its own generation – not only to explore new possibilities and colours in music, but also to promote the work of the youngest generation of Latvian composers.

The ensemble has appeared at major festivals, including Latvian New Music Days, the Cēsis Art Festival, the chamber music festival Sansusī, Latvian Autumn, White Night, Zauers Organ Summer, Kokle Sounds in Winter Splendour, and Vadātājs, and has performed at Latvian Radio Studio 1, the Small Guild, Riga Cathedral, Riga Castle, St. Peter’s Church, St. Gertrude’s Church, Lūznava Manor, Kaņepes Kultūras centrs, Kalnciema Quarter, the conteporary art space TUR, and elsewhere in Latvia and abroad.
