Canadian Jazz Quartet to Bring Unique Sound to Liepāja’s Pegaza Pagalms
Liepāja, Latvia is set to host a special musical event on February 20th, as the Noam Lemish Quartet, a highly-regarded Canadian ensemble, takes the stage at Pegaza Pagalms. This performance marks a rare opportunity for Latvian audiences to experience contemporary jazz from across the Atlantic.
A Juno-Nominated Pianist Leads the Way
The Noam Lemish Quartet is fronted by Noam Lemish, a Juno Award-nominated pianist, composer, and educator. His musical style blends jazz, classical music, and influences from various cultures. This will be Lemish’s first visit to Latvia and Liepāja.
Joining Lemish are equally accomplished musicians: Juno Award-winning saxophonist Sundar Viswanathan, multiple Juno Award recipient bassist Andrew Downing, and drummer Nick Fraser, a prominent figure in Toronto’s music scene.
Inspired by Poetry and the Present Moment
The quartet will be presenting their latest album, There’s Beauty Enough in Being Here, during their Liepāja performance. The album and the accompanying program draw inspiration from the poetry of Portuguese writer Fernando Pessoa, emphasizing the importance of presence – finding beauty in the here and now. This concept resonates deeply with the improvisational nature of jazz.
More Than Just a Concert: A Jam Session to Follow
The concert promises to be an unforgettable experience for jazz enthusiasts and anyone seeking authentic, contemporary live music. Following the main performance, the evening will continue with a jam session, inviting all jazz lovers to join the musicians on stage for an improvisational dialogue.
