LOKS - Four Concerts at Once is a unique work by four composers for four quartets, performed at four festivals in four countries, as part of the project Festivallinks 2.0.

From the uncertainty of planting the seed to the abundance of the harvest, the piece draws an arc, a circle ('loks' in Latvian) across the four performances, which unfold during the growing season.

In each festival the composition has been performed by a different combination of instruments. All performances have been combined by film director Toms Harjo so they form now one piece for an orchestra of 16 players: LOKS – the film!

If you attended one of the concerts, watching the film will be a unique experience to experience the combined version of the composition. And if you have not experienced one of the performances, this is your chance to do so and enjoy LOKS from your own home. Sit back and enjoy!
