Wow 
Brian Lynch and the students dove right into the program yesterday, making their debut on Latvian television in the morning. After enjoying a great breakfast with a number of regional favorites, the students were driven to the LTV studio for a 75 minute live appearance on a popular youth music show known as “Sems.” The group played four selections and spoke about their experience as music students playing with Brian Lynch, who spoke more in-depth about the group’s music and jazz and Afr0-Caribbean jazz as well.
The hosts were incredibly gracious and did an admirable job translating Brian and students. The music, of course, needed no translation!
We hope to have either a clip or a link to the show shortly and will provide it for you…next up will be an overview of a rewarding master class the group had the chance to hold at the Latvian Academy of Music, and then an exciting performance at one of Riga’s top jazz clubs, Club Artelis, a world class performance venue.
For now, we’ll leave off by saying how deeply grateful everyone in the group is for the warmth and graciousness of all of the people and audiences with whom we have interacted in Riga so far. It has been an honor and deeply gratifying…
