Pop Goes Classical Tickets

Pop Goes Classical is a dynamic project by Latvian musicians Valters Pūce (cellist) and Dainis Tenis (pianist/composer), members of the crossover group Dagamba. The duo reimagines popular hits through a classical lens, pairing cello with piano to create intimate, high-energy performances that bridge classical technique and contemporary vibes. The project blends studio and live experiences, offering a compelling program for concert halls and festival stages alike.

Born from Dagamba’s innovative approach, Pop Goes Classical presents a focused revival of pop favorites in a classical duo format. The concept centers on accessible arrangements that showcase technical prowess and emotional storytelling, appealing to both classical connoisseurs and pop music fans. The live program and studio album bring together a curated selection of tracks that translate familiar melodies into instrument-driven artistry.

Discography highlights include the 2021 collaboration Radīts Latvijā under Dagamba and the 2025 album Pop Goes Classical, released on March 31, 2025. The album features 10 instrumental tracks, including reimagined staples like Blinding Lights, Hey Jude, Bohemian Rhapsody, Billie Jean, and Smells Like Teen Spirit. The single Blinding Lights released with a video represents the project’s approach: recognizable songs reinterpreted for cello and piano. The 2025 Latvia-wide tour runs in spring, with Dzintaru Concert Hall (Apr 12), Latgales vēstniecība Gors (Apr 13), Liepājas koncertzāle Lielais dzintars (Apr 19), and Concert Hall Latvia in Ventspils (Apr 27), plus additional dates anticipated in Sigulda and other venues.
