Biography
Lida Rubene
Before the Second World War, she started her studies at the Latvian Conservatory under Arvīdas Norīš. In 1948, he graduated from the violin class of Kārlis Brickner.
1945-1962 was a concertmaster in several Riga orchestras, often played on Latvian radio. After that, as a soloist of the State Philharmonic, she devoted all her energies to concert activities. The repertoire included all the most notable concerts for violin with orchestra, including one of the most popular - Jānis Ivanov's violin concerto.
Lida Rubene achieved the international success available to a Latvian musician at that time - played in Bulgaria, Poland, Romania and Finland, was a laureate of the World Youth and Student Festival in Bucharest, bronze medalist of the USSR-wide competition.
After 1962, she gave concerts in countless places throughout the USSR, cooperating with many philharmonics. She has performed more than 2,000 concerts in her lifetime. The last time she played in Riga was in 1993.
Since 1994, she has suffered from a lack of means of subsistence and serious health problems, which were exacerbated by a piece of ice that fell from the roof. After treatment in several hospitals, in 1995 she moved to live with friends in St. Petersburg.
According to A. Klotiņš's article "Remembrance and ignorance" in 2006.
In the book "Мошенничество в России" by S. Romanov, it is mentioned that in St. Petersburg, 68-year-old violinist Lida Rubene's violin was stolen when she went home after playing near the Petropavlovsk fortress. Two young people needed the money they had earned, which was in the case. A violin made by Stradivari's student Tahler in 1720 was found hidden in a construction site.
The sculpture "Violinist Lida Rubene" has been decorating the town of Kuldīga for decades. Diploma work of sculptor L. Rezevskas (supervised by T. Zaļkalns), which was later cast in bronze.
