Girls’ Youth Choir “Omnes”

The girls’ choir “Omnes” comes from Riga, the capital of Latvia, located on both sides of the Daugava River near the Baltic Sea. The choir was founded as a vocal group in 2007 for girls who have grown past childhood but wish to continue to perform music together. This unit grew into a chamber choir in 2009. Nowadays there are sixteen girls aged fifteen to twenty in the choir.

Omnes has an active concert Schedule—from Christmas and Easter concerts to charity events and television programs. The choir has a broad repertoire that ranges from sacred music, through gospel and pop sounds to traditional folk music and modern Latvian and foreign composers.

As children the girls took part in several international choir contests and toured in Estonia, Belgium, Sweden, Spain, Italy, Hungary and Russia and participated in four CD recordings. As a youth group they won the first degree diploma of the International Sacred music Competition “Silver bells” in 2009.

Conductor Aija Kukule is a well-known musician in the genre of popular music. She is a laureate of numerous international contests and has recorded a great number of songs. She was awarded with the highest Latvian prize for musicians.
