The Budapest Philharmonic Orchestra is celebrating the Liszt bicentenary with a splendid programme. Their concert will give us an opportunity to meet Ainārs Rubiķis, a young, brilliantly talented conductor from Riga. Born in 1978, he attracted world attention when he won the recent Gustav Mahler conducting competition (2010). Rubiķis studied at the Latvian Academy of Music and took part in master courses held by Mariss Jansons and Zsolt Nagy; he works at the Latvian National Opera, conducts choirs and sings in a choir himself.
