Finding Home in Amsterdam, Returning to Play at Riga Cathedral: Conversation with Organist Una Cintiņa
Latvian organist Una Cintiņa has lived in the Netherlands for nearly two decades, where she found her church, choir, and freedom, but she regularly returns to Latvia to perform at Riga Cathedral.
In an interview with Inga Žilinska, Latvian organist Una Cintiņa reveals that Amsterdam has allowed her to hear herself. The musician has been living in the Netherlands for almost twenty years, where she has her own church, choir, and organ. She has also found a sense of freedom that she deeply values. Among her hobbies is her horse, Charlie.
Despite living abroad, Una Cintiņa frequently returns to Latvia to give concerts at Riga Cathedral. These returns are important both personally and professionally—they allow her to maintain a connection with her homeland and share music with the local audience. Her story is about the balance between two homes and the power of music that connects them.
