Organist Una Cintiņa: I found myself in Amsterdam, but return to play at Riga Dome

Latvian organist Una Cintiņa has been living in the Netherlands for nearly two decades. In an interview, she emphasizes that Amsterdam has enabled her to hear herself. In the Dutch capital, she has found her church, choir, and organ. She also owns a horse named Charlie. The city represents freedom and self-discovery for her.

Nevertheless, Una Cintiņa regularly returns to Latvia to perform at Riga Dome. Her example shows how living abroad can help an artist find their voice while maintaining ties with their homeland. The freedom gained in Amsterdam has allowed her to understand her music more deeply and return with an enriched perspective. Her story is about preserving roots and artistic self-discovery, with Amsterdam as a catalyst.
