On May 29 at 7:00 PM, the Jūras vārti Theatre House in Ventspils will host a unique musical experience – the concert Sound of China: 24 Solar Terms. This evocative journey through the rhythm of nature and the transition of seasons brings to life the profound beauty of cyclical change through sound. The concert is inspired by the traditional Chinese concept of the 24 Solar Terms – part of UNESCO’s intangible cultural heritage – which encapsulate ancient wisdom about nature and humanity’s deep connection to it. This philosophy comes alive in music, interpreting the flow of time from spring’s clarity to winter’s stillness. Audiences will hear themed compositions representing the four seasons alongside classic Chinese folk melodies. Performers will bring each scene to life using traditional instruments such as the konghou, pipa, erhu, dizi, suona, and Chinese drums. Through solos, duets, and ensemble performances, a vivid musical landscape will unfold – where each sound is part of nature’s eternal symphony. Sound of China: 24 Solar Terms is more than a concert – it is a cultural dialogue between East and West, a message of peace and shared humanity through music. Don’t miss this rare opportunity to experience China’s rich musical traditions in Latvia.
