XII Early music festival VIVAT CURLANDIA!

Vivat Curlandia! is a vibrant international early music festival that celebrates the rich cultural heritage of the historic Duchy of Courland through performances of Baroque and Renaissance music. Each summer, the picturesque Bauska Castle and surrounding venues come alive with the sound of period instruments, historically informed performances, and the artistry of musicians from across Europe. The festival unites concerts, lectures, educational workshops, and cross-disciplinary collaborations, creating a meeting point for professionals, students, and audiences who share a passion for early music and cultural discovery. Emphasising authenticity and artistic excellence, all performances are presented on historical instruments or their faithful reconstructions, offering listeners a vivid and inspiring journey into the musical world of the 17th and 18th centuries. Vivat Curlandia! is more than a festival - it is a living dialogue between past and present, where history, music, and architecture converge to revive the spirit of the Baroque era in contemporary Latvia.
