Latvian National Symphony Orchestra

The Latvian National Symphony Orchestra (LNSO) is one of the leading classical music ensembles in Latvia, known for its rich history and deep connection to the country's cultural heritage. Founded in 1926, the orchestra is based in Riga and operates under the auspices of the Latvian National State Radio and Television. Over the years, the LNSO has played a vital role in developing Latvia's symphonic traditions and has been a prominent interpreter of Latvian composers such as Jānis Ivanovs, Tālivaldis Ķeniņš, and Pēteris Vasks.

The orchestra is acclaimed not only for its performances of classical masterpieces but also for championing contemporary music, with a strong commitment to Latvian repertoire. Collaborating with top local and international soloists and conductors, the LNSO frequently tours abroad and boasts an impressive discography, particularly through labels like Skani, which spotlight Latvian composers. Their innovative programming and dedication to musical excellence have made them a beloved institution both at home and in the broader European classical music scene.
