About Kremerata Baltica
Artist Biography
With his career reaching the greatest heights of international acclaim, violinist Gidon Kremer was anxious to establish connections with the aspiring younger musicians in the Baltic states of Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania, and to share his rich artistic experience with them. In line with this conception, he created the chamber music collective known as the Kremerata Baltica in 1997; it is an ensemble identified with Kremer's eclectic and restless exploration of unusual repertory, as well as with fresh interpretations of standard works. Kremer's initiative has stimulated the independent musical life of the Baltic states, loosening the shackles that dire economic straits have placed on the arts. The Kremerata Baltica under Mirga Gražinytė-Tyla won a Grammy Award in 2020 for the album Weinberg: Symphonies Nos. 2 & 21. In 2022, the group issued PPP, featuring the works of Pēteris Plakidis, Kristaps Pētersons, and Georgs Pelēcis.
