Latvia is internationally well known as the “Land That Sings”. Latvian Nationwide song and dance celebration held once in every five years is recognized by UNESCO as "Masterpiece of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity". During this impressive performance, 40,000 people dressed up in national folk costumes, come together to sing and dance. Urban and rural people in Latvia have maintained this tradition for almost 150 years that will be celebrated during the next festival in 2023. <\/p>\n
On the basis of this outstanding celebration in Latvia, there has been developed a unique choral culture for a nation of 2 million inhabitants having some of the world’s best professional and amateur choirs. <\/p>\n
Acclaimed Latvian conductor Janis Ozols is one of the most promising young Latvian conductors. He is Artistic Director for the Mixed Choir of the Latvian Music Academy – a study choir for future Latvian professional conductors. Besides, Janis Ozols has created one of the best Latvian amateur choir “Maska” where he is the chief conductor since its foundation in the year 2000. <\/p>\n
Laura Jekabsone is renowned as an Artistic Director and singer at a cappella group with international fame “Latvian Voices”; she is also a prolific music arranger, songwriter, chorus master and vocal coach.<\/p>\n
Janis Ozols and Laura Jekabsone are coming all the way from Latvia to India to share their knowledge and practice on how to work with a choir – both professional and amateur. For professionals, it will be an opportunity to learn several techniques of vocal warm-ups to enhance breathing and to establish an even-lined vocal sound for each voice group, to understand the connection of voice and body as a joint instrument, to explore diversity of colours of a voice, to learn creating a vocal phrase and conducting techniques. <\/p>\n
For amateurs, it will be a chance to experience their vocal abilities under the lead of renowned chorus masters. Conductors will work with a repertoire chosen by choirs to create a vibrant and emotional final performance for each participating member. At the end of the master classes, certificate of participation will be issued from the Music Academy of Latvia.<\/p>\n
Embassy of Latvia in India and ABRSM has extended its invitation for choral master classes led by Latvian conductors in Dimapur.<\/p>\n
