On 18 July, accordionist Ksenija Sidorova will perform with the Latvian National Symphony Orchestra and conductor Andris Poga.

Ksenija Sidorova has become the ambassador of her instrument in the world, speaking to listeners all over the world with her skill and charming personality. Dubbed a “discoverer” (New York Times) with “breathtaking virtuosity” (The Observer), Ksenija Sidorova is one of the world’s most prominent accordion virtuosos, and her cleverly balanced, carefully crafted programmes have allowed the accordion, previously known as a folk music instrument, to be appreciated for a brand new quality.
