Trip to Latvia, July 2008
We travelled to Latvia in July to perform with other international choirs in the Foreign Guest Group Concert in Dome Square in Riga as part of the 23rd Latvian Song and Dance Festival.
Latvia is famous throughout the world for its tradition of singing,
and is often referred to as “The Land that Sings”. In July 2008, more than
35,000 singers and dancers participated in the Festival to an audience of almost 300,000. The song festival has been held every five years for the last 135 years and draws on participants from Latvians from every town and village in Latvia and abroad. View the closing concert:

We were awarded 5th place in the National Competition for Church Music, performing Poulenc's Vinea Mea Electa and Triodion by Arvo Part.
