Local choirs join Jasmīnas kora for Imanta Kalniņa rock opera in jēkabpils

The Jasmīnas kora will perform the rock opera "Ei, jūs tur!" by Imanta Kalniņa and Vika in Jēkabpils, Latvia.

Local singers from the Noskaņa and Sēlpils mixed choirs and the Unda women's choir will join the production as additional performers. Agita Rimšēviča, the artistic director and conductor of Jasmīnas kora, explained that the choir portrays various roles such as inquisitors, friends, and acquaintances. The production features three main characters named Viņš, Viņa, and Koris.

The local singers will participate in two collective rehearsals to refine approximately ten songs by Imanta Kalniņa before the show. Ieva, a member of the Sēlpils choir, stated that the group has performed many of these songs before and is pleased to be invited to participate. The performance marks a collaborative effort between the professional choir and the local community's musical groups.
