The House of Blackheads was built in the distant 1334. The spirit of the House of Blackheads was created by the strenuous and joyful Blackheads, who, being young and unmarried merchants, stood out with their temper and great enthusiasm of organizing various celebrations and cultural events. Their enthusiasm made this building one of the main centres of culture, which determined the pulse of the public life of the entire city. For centuries the House of Blackheads was the cultural epicentre of Riga, gathering the most respectable inhabitants of Riga and their guests. Also nowadays the House of Blackheads offers the most luxurious and prestigious premises for organization of significant cultural events and concerts.
This year marks the 100th anniversary of violin legend Yehudi Menuhin, and young violinists from Latvia, Russia, Switzerland, Germany and Belgium dedicate this Violin gala concert to great Maestro.
