Radio Klasika Director: Autumn Cultural Season Has Started at Full Speed

Gunda Vaivode, head of Latvijas Radio 3 "Klasika" and one of the jury members behind LSM's culture recommendation feature "Kilograms kultūras," has highlighted just how quickly this year's autumn cultural season has taken off.

According to Vaivode, there has been no gradual buildup this time — the season launched immediately at full intensity, as if starting straight into a sprint. She emphasizes that this week, too, promises a wide range of cultural activity.

Broad coverage across art forms

Vaivode notes that events are expected across several fields simultaneously this week — spanning music, theatre, dance, and poetry. This suggests that the cultural scene at the start of the autumn season is developing broadly, touching multiple art forms rather than focusing on just one.

She has encouraged people to take the opportunity and go out to experience this week's cultural offerings in person. Her comment is part of the "Kilograms kultūras" feature, in which representatives from various cultural fields regularly share recommendations on what is worth attending in the near future.

While specific events and venues were not named in this overview, Vaivode's assessment points to a broader trend — the 2026 autumn cultural season in Latvia has begun unusually energetically and diversely, encompassing several art disciplines at once. Her remarks serve as a general invitation to engage with the country's cultural life as the new season gathers momentum, rather than a detailed programme announcement.
