The 'Latvian Young Virtuoso' competition is reaching its climax with the finals set for February 15, where talented young musicians from Latvia, including Anton Pizāns and Jeļena Jasjuļaņeca, will showcase their skills. The winner will represent Latvia at the prestigious 'Eurovision Young Musicians' event in Yerevan, Armenia, on June 6, 2026. This competition not only highlights the exceptional talent in the region but also serves as a platform for young musicians to gain international exposure.

Among the finalists, accordionist Anton Pizāns, a fourth-year student at the Stanislav Brok Daugavpils Music School, reflects on how his journey in music began simply through his parents' encouragement to go to music school. With 13 years of experience playing the accordion, he emphasizes that his goal is to bring happiness to others through his music. This sentiment is shared by his fellow finalist, Jeļena Jasjuļaņeca, indicating a common motivation among competitors.

The competition highlights the importance of nurturing musical talent in Latvia and aims to inspire both participants and audiences alike. It will be broadcasted live on LTV1 and available on REplay.lv, with audio coverage on Latvian Radio 3 'Klasika.' Such events not only promote local culture but also pave the way for future generations of musicians to pursue their dreams on larger platforms.
