Inna Rogatchi’s fine art photography works and series depicting a world of music has been selected to become a part of several cultural events in Latvia.
Two of Inna Rogatchi’s works have become prizes for two world-reknown musicians of Latvian origin, for their contribution to the developing cultural scene of Latvia, and for their general input into the international arts.
At the memorable concerts in Riga, pianist Inna Davidova and conductor Ilmars Lapins were both awarded with Inna Rogatchi’s original works from her well-known musical Melody Thread series. Inna Davidova was awarded with the Solo of a Cherubin work, while Ilmars Lapins was awarded with the Score I. Colascione work depicting rare original Italian musical instruments from the XVI-XVIII centuries.
Conductor Ilmars Lapins and Pianist Inna Davidova, and Inna Rogatchi’s art works that the Latvian stars of classic music have been awarded with.
Inna Davidova is well-known in Latvia and abroad as a pianist and is the Chopin Ambassador. This honorary title is bestowed by the government of Poland to only 80 personalities in the world for their outstanding contribution in the promotion and support of the Chopin legacy. Ilmars Lapins is a prolific conductor and is an honorary citizen of Vienna, due to his contributions in music. He is also the chief conductor of the highly reputed Mostar Symphony Orchestra.
Both notable Latvian musicians have been awarded with Inna Rogatchi’s art works by Professor Ojars Sparitis, the president of the Latvian Academy of Science and the head of the Latvian National UNESCO Committee. At both ceremonies, Professor Sparitis has emphasised both Inna Davidova‘s and Ilmars Lapins‘s contributions to the international development of music, and has drawn the inter-connections between the actual input by performing musicians and by those artists who are reflecting in their own original way on the world of music, as Inna Rogatchi does, creating new images and symbols which are making long-lasting ‘imprints’ of the moments of composed, conducted and performed music.
Professor Ojars Sparitis has also donated a set of Inna Rogatchi’s Melody Thread fine art photography series to the Jurmala School of Music, the famed institution that is known for many leading Latvian and other musicians that have graduated from the school, and also for its highly reputable international music contests. The set of Inna Rogatchi’s Melody Thread collection will decorate the Jurmala School of Music premises, and will be there on permanent display.
