Latvia

Experience the astonishing vocal artistry of Latvian Voices in this captivating a cappella program. From Baltic folk songs and original works to inventive reimaginings of well-known pop favourites, Timeless is a joyous celebration of song, showcasing the human voice at its most playful, expressive and virtuosic.

Latvian Voices

Be transported to ‘the land that sings’ in these three awe-inspiring programs from Latvian Voices.

This world-renowned ensemble of ethereal singers blends Latvian folk songs with exquisite, modern a cappella arrangements. Imbued with the rich musical heritage of Latvia – home to a 2027 Cultural Capital of the World, Liepāja – these luminous performances showcase that most inventive and profound of instruments: the human voice.

Latvian Voices will also be performing in Sacred Chord and Moon and Stars.

Latvian Voices is an acclaimed a cappella ensemble drawing on the rich choral heritage of Latvia, a country known as the “land that sings”. Led by composer and artistic director Laura Jēkabsone, the six-voice ensemble brings together Latvian and Baltic folk traditions, original compositions and contemporary a cappella arrangements. Since forming in 2009, Latvian Voices has performed in more than 35 countries, appearing at venues including the Elbphilharmonie, Berlin Konzerthaus, Leipzig Gewandhaus and Kennedy Center. Their performances combine beautifully crafted harmonies with warmth, playfulness and a deep connection to the singing traditions of their homeland.
