The Association Memorial Museums digital story “Personalities and Music” (in Latvian) tells the story of the music favoured by Latvian writers and artists.
From folk songs sung as children to opera arias at the Paris Opera. What did museum personalities listen to and sing?
The texts of the poets represented by the museums have inspired composers for a century, and no Latvian Song Festival can be imagined without the words of Rainis or Aspazija. These songs have also been added to the music lists.
