“No one has done more to bring Eastern European composers to light in the west than Gidon Kremer.” – New York Times. Latvian violin legend Gidon Kremer has made bold musicianship his life’s work. For his 50th birthday, he gave the world a 23-piece chamber orchestra formed of the Baltic region’s most promising, responsive, and focused young musicians – the Grammy-winning Kremerata Baltica. For his 75th, he brings his orchestra to Chamberfest.
