Concert in one of the hills were waiting crowds, and event organizers warning that a miracle beginning could be a little bit later than expected came true. However, people did not go away, they heard the project story about eskers told by one of the main generators, musician Inguss Ulmanis and the Professor of Geography and Earth Sciences Faculty in Latvian University Vitālijs Zelčs and greeted the miracle.
On a 360-degree stage was projected a life story of the esker, how it, with the help of pebbles, freed from the burden of a ice pile and broke the way towards the sunlight. As the authors of the idea say, esker is a geological formation resulting from complex processes under ice - drift sand and little stones shaped hill, which, melting the ice, saw the sunlight, for this reason the concert is called Osa sirds (Heart of esker)
Musical performance with drums, guitars, xylophones, bagpipes, and other instruments as well as voice, played Ingus Ulmanis, Aigars Voitišķis, Kaspars Tobis, Andris Sējāns, Valdis and Rūta Muktupāvels', and Anrijs Grinbergs.
