Atklāšana norisināsies vienā no Rīgas simboliskākajām<br />
vietām – Latvijas Nacionālajā bibliotēkā. Šīs<br />
ēkas celtniecība tika pabeigta 2014. gadā, kad Rīga<br />
bija Eiropas kultūras galvaspilsēta, un tas bija sens<br />
pilsētnieku sapnis, jo līdztekus preču tirdzniecībai<br />
Rīga visos laikos bijusi un ir dažādu kultūru<br />
krustceļos. Tās savstarpēji bagātinājušas cita citu, it<br />
īpaši mūzikā. Atklāšanas norisē simboliski ietverts<br />
šis savstarpējās bagātināšanās rituāls – Rīgas viesi<br />
dāvās bibliotēkas krājumam savu tautu muzikālo<br />
daiļradi, paši pretī saņemot senās melodijas<br />
no latviešu Dainu skapja – seno tautasdziesmu<br />
kolekcijas, kas iekļauta UNESCO pasaules kultūras<br />
vērtību sarakstā.<br />
Pēc Nāciju Grand Prix Rīga <strong>2017</strong> un 3. Eiropas koru<br />
olimpiādes dalībnieku un valstu karogu sagaidīšanas<br />
pie bibliotēkas dalībnieki tiks aicināti bibliotēkas<br />
ātrijā, lai ieklausītos dažādu tautu dziesmās, ļaujot<br />
iepazīt citam citu un saklausīt dažādās, vienojošās<br />
un atšķirīgās kultūras balsis.<br />

Opening<br />
Event<br />
The opening will take place at one of Rīga’s symbolic<br />
venues - the National Library of Latvia, the new building,<br />
which has been a dream of the residents of the<br />
city for a long time. The construction of the library<br />
building was completed in 2014, when Rīga was the<br />
<strong>European</strong> Capital of Culture. Along with the trading<br />
of goods, Rīga has always been at the crossroads of<br />
various cultures and still is. They have mutually enriched<br />
each other, especially in music. The opening<br />
event symbolically includes this mutually enriching<br />
ritual. Rīga’s guests will present the musical creations<br />
of their nations to the library’s collection and<br />
in return, they will receive ancient melodies from the<br />
Latvian Dainu skapis [Cabinet of Folksongs], a collection<br />
of ancient folksongs which have been included<br />
on the UNESCO World Cultural Heritage list.<br />
After the arrival of the participants and the national<br />
flags of the Grand Prix of Nations Rīga <strong>2017</strong> and 3 rd<br />
<strong>European</strong> <strong>Choir</strong> <strong>Games</strong> at the entrance, participants<br />
will be invited inside into the atria of the library to listen<br />
to a variety of folk songs, providing an opportunity<br />
for them to get to know each other and to listen to<br />
various, unifying and differing voices of culture.<br />
