I grew up singing. In Latvia, you have a choir in every village, and the traditional choir music and folkdance festival - Dziesmu svētki, when 30.000 singers join in one big choir, is a celebration of this beautiful tradition.
I have lived outside of Latvia for around 15 years now, and been actively nurturing and celebrating the latvian singing tradition also in the diaspora. Currently I am one of the two artistic directors and conductor of the Baltics choir in Hamburg - Balticoro.
