A new chamber music ensemble, the reed quintet Crossroads, will make its debut in the acoustic concert hall in Īle. This ensemble, consisting of clarinet, oboe, saxophone, bassoon, and bass clarinet, is the first of its kind in Latvia and the Baltics. The concert will feature a diverse program, including Edvard Grieg's suite "From Holberg's Time," Marc Mellits' "Splinter," and George Gershwin's "Rhapsody in Blue." The quintet comprises saxophonist Patrīcija Bloma, oboist Pauls Reinis, clarinetists Līva Juruša and Madara Eleonora Mežale, and bassoonist Edgars Karpenskis-Allažs. The ensemble aims to introduce audiences to this unique chamber ensemble type, popularize wind instrument chamber music, and bring diversity to the Latvian cultural scene.
