Gaismas ceļā (Path of Light)

I must say the Latvians are big on metaphor and last night's concert was no exception.  The concert was performed by over 300 musicians playing a traditional Latvian stringed instrument called the kokle.  There are basically two types: a small laptop version with about 10 strings, and a large pedestal type with up to 30 strings for playing in concerts like the one last night. It sounded like an orchestra of stringed instruments. Very powerful. I've included a link to one of my favorite kokle players.
