In this momentous 150th anniversary year, Latvijas Finieris is among the sponsors of the XXVII Nationwide Latvian Song and XVII Dance Festival. Thousands of singers, dancers, musicians and festivalgoers will be delighted by the birch decorations gathered by SIA “Latvijas Finieris mežs”, while the company’s birch plywood products will be widely featured in nine scenography projects across the city – from signboards and décor to stage floors and acoustic structures.

What is Latvian Song and Dance festival

This is an extraordinary year. We are celebrating the 150th anniversary of the nation’s greatest, jointly created cultural masterpiece – the Nationwide Latvian Song and Dance Festival. It is a tradition that has stood the test of time, a tradition that is firmly unique in the world, unites national values, and is an integral part of our national identity. We at Latvijas Finieris are doubly proud – many of our employees will be participating in the festival in various ensembles, and this year our company is also looking back at over a century and a half of history.”

Just as culture shapes the soul of a nation, Latvia’s national economy is rooted in our fertile land and the people who nurture it and generate value in their daily lives. That’s why the support our team offers the festival is so significant – birch plywood products grown on our own land and made together.

She emphasised Troja as an excellent example of a gradual and focused move towards internally-generated green power that reduces the company’s energy costs, its CO2 footprint, and improves its energy independence through the available government assistance instruments. This is text link.

“Song and Dance Festivals don’t happen on their own – they are crafted by participants, local authorities, the state and businesses. We can rightly call this the biggest collaborative project in our country and a source of pride for us, in which we experience such memorable emotions, a sense of togetherness and the might of coming and working together. The support of Latvijas Finieris also demonstrates a responsible and economical approach to our high-quality resources and products. This is very important for us this time, because sustainability is one of the Festival’s guiding principles, which permeates both the organisational and the artistic processes. We are sincerely grateful to everyone who supports the Festival individually and at the corporate level,” highlights Daina Markova, Executive Director of the XXVII Nationwide Latvian Song and XVII Dance Festival.

During the festival week, Latvijas Finieris’ birch plywood products will be on display at the event honouring Chief Conductors and Chief Dance Leaders, the Festival Participants’ Parade, the construction of the Green Stage on the Esplanade, the Latvian folk costume exhibition “In the Moonlight” (“Mēnesnīcā”), the children’s and youth choir concert “I Want to Tell Myself Something” (“Es vēlos sev ko pastāstīt”), the kokle concert “River of Time” (“Laika upe”), the applied folk art exhibition, the dance performance “The Eternal Engine” (“Mūžīgais dzinējs”) at Daugava Stadium, as well as the concert of minority artistic groups “Suns on Canvas of Song” (“Saules dziesmu audeklā”).
