FBO Riga is looking forward to the arrival of world-famous symphonic orchestras, musicians and rising musical stars who are set to perform at the Latvian National Opera, the Great Guild and the Dzintari Concert Hall during the Riga Jurmala Music Festival. The Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra and Mariss Jansons, the Russian National Orchestra and Mikhail Pletnev, the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra and Zubin Mehta, the London Symphony Orchestra and Gianandrea Noseda as well as many other soloists will give exclusive performances at the event.

As an official partner, FBO Riga business aviation centre will welcome participants and guests of the festival, supporting the goal of the festival organisers to promote Latvia as a high-quality destination for cultural tourism in northern Europe.

“The cultural life of Latvia and Europe has a truly outstanding gift,” says FBO Riga co-owner Roman Starkov. “I am sure the festival will become an important event for lovers of classical music. It is a great honour for us to be the official partner and we are glad to offer the performers and guests not only the full range of our world-class business aviation services but our high-quality concierge services too. They unlock all the travel opportunities of Riga and Jurmala.”

Festival executive director Zane Čulkstēna adds: “Latvia is a small country, so it is particularly important to collaborate with the best professionals in each industry. FBO Riga's business aviation centre has been recognised as the best in Europe and we are pleased about this collaboration.”

FBO Riga business aviation centre, part of Flight Consulting Group, opened its doors in September 2015.
