Orchestra
Since the foundation of the orchestra in 2006, Normunds Šnē is its Artistic Director and Chief Conductor.
The musicians of Sinfonietta Rīga are young and open to creative challenge – studying the traditions of Baroque music performance and the nuances of the interpretation of Classical music; they are brilliant performers of the contemporary music.
