otay:onii. Between the Beautiful and the Ugly

In 2026, twelve outstanding artists come to the Hanzas perons cultural venue with specially curated concert programmes — some already known and admired by Latvian audiences, others internationally acclaimed and travelling to Latvia for the first time.

Closing this year's Piano Sundays on 13 December, otay:onii — musician, performance artist and a permanent member of Florentina Holzinger's company — comes to Riga for a concert at Perons, performing original music for piano, voice and body.

Tickets for the otay:onii concert at Hanzas perons on 13 December are available through the Biļešu Paradīze network. Ticket prices will rise as the concert date approaches. A limited number of seats is on sale.

Throughout 2026, in cooperation with Klavieru salons 152, Hanzas perons hosts a solo concert by an outstanding, distinctive and unusual pianist on (mostly) the third Sunday of every month, with the series bringing together both Latvian and internationally renowned artists. The first months of the year already brought concerts by the Swiss-born pianist, composer and improviser Sylvie Courvoisier and by Rihards Plešanovs, the latter performing Dmitri Shostakovich's 24 Preludes and Fugues (Op. 87) in a single evening. In March, American pianist Adam Tendler gave the European premiere of "Inheritances", the strikingly moving, GRAMMY-nominated programme dedicated to the memory of his father. The brighter months of the year also brought concerts by Vanessa Wagner, Robert Fleitz, John Kameel Farah, Bugge Wesseltoft and David Moore, also known as Bing & Ruth.
