3. Eiropas koru olimpiādes un Nāciju Grand Prix Rīga <strong>2017</strong> dalībnieki,<br />
organizatori un klausītāji!<br />
Esam priecīgi atkal Rīgā sveikt dziesmu un mūzikas mīļotājus un miera<br />
vēstnešus. Katrs liels, starptautisks pasākums, kas notiek Rīgā, ļauj mums iegūt<br />
jaunus draugus un sniedz pozitīvas emocijas, it īpaši, ja šis notikums saistīts ar<br />
mūziku.<br />
Koru mūzikai vienmēr ir bijusi liela loma Latvijas mūzikas vēsturē un šodienas<br />
muzikālajā dzīvē. Mēs lepojamies ar saviem izcilajiem koriem un protam novērtēt<br />
arī citu valstu dziedātāju sniegumu.<br />
Novēlu, lai 3. Eiropas koru olimpiāde un Nāciju Grand Prix Riga <strong>2017</strong> sacensības<br />
pārsteidz un aizrauj klausītājus, lai mūsu viesiem Rīga paliek atmiņā kā<br />
brīnišķīga un muzikāla pilsēta!<br />
Participants, organizers and listeners of the 3 rd <strong>European</strong> <strong>Choir</strong> <strong>Games</strong> and<br />
the Grand Prix of Nations Rīga <strong>2017</strong>!<br />
We are happy to once again welcome lovers of song and music and messengers<br />
of peace to Rīga. Each great international event that takes place in Riga, allows<br />
us to make new friends and provides positive emotions, especially if the event is<br />
connected with music.<br />
<strong>Choir</strong> music has always played a large role in Latvia’s musical history and contemporary<br />
musical life. We are proud of our outstanding choirs and can appreciate<br />
the performances of singers from other nations.<br />
I wish that the Grand Prix of Nations Riga <strong>2017</strong> and 3 rd <strong>European</strong> <strong>Choir</strong> <strong>Games</strong><br />
competition surprises and captivates listeners, so that Riga remains in the memories<br />
of our guests as a wonderful and musical city!<br />
Nils Ušakovs<br />
Rīgas domes priekšsēdētājs /<br />
