In new season the choir continues to make up steps towards new artistic activities. The main activities of the choir are finding the new ways to Music, its expresion and presenting new ideas, cooperation with composers and many professional Musicians. Now, the choir Mūza is making a new image and wants to show multiplicity of the choir Music. In its programs the choir performes modern Music and a big part is left of Latvian classical Music as well as traditional Latvian folk-Music.
The choir Mūza was established in 1947. Its founder and leader through out many years has been maestro Leonids Vigners (1906-2001).
In 1999 the choir transferred into new direction and it became a youth choir. From 2006 the artistic director and the main conductor is Guntis Cimiņš. less

Hold on (gospel)
Gospel. Not sure of the source, but possibly an arrangement of a song written by the Williams Brothers, a traditional black gospel Music group from Jackson, Mississippi formed in 1960. This is a slowed down version with the word 'God' replaced with 'love'... moreGospel.

This is a slowed down version with the word 'God' replaced with 'love'.
This concert was the culmination of a six-week project which creates a choir from scratch for one night only. Each winter and summer, Chris Rowbury gathers a random bunch of singers from in and around Ipswich. There are no auditions and all songs are taught and learnt by ear. Usually eight songs are learnt in six two-hour sessions and in the winter are performed at St. Peters by the Waterfront, Ipswich. http://chrisrowbury.com less

Comprising both choir and period-instrument orchestra, The Sixteen’s total commitment to the Music it performs is its greatest distinction. A special reputation for performing early English polyphony, masterpieces of the Renaissance, bringing fresh insights into Baroque and early Classical Music and a diversity of 20th-century Music, is drawn from the passions of conductor and founder Harry Christophers.
At home in the UK, The Sixteen are “The Voices of Classic FM” and Associate Artists of The Bridgewater Hall, Manchester. The group promotes The Choral Pilgrimage, an annual tour of Britain's finest cathedrals bringing Music back to the buildings for which it was written. The Sixteen has recently featured in the highly successful BBC television series, Sacred Music, presented by actor Simon Russell Beale - a second series which focused on the Music of Brahms, Bruckner, Fauré, Pärt and Tave... less

The ensemble has been in residence at The Church of St. Ignatius of Antioch since 2003. Polyhymnia's singers are drawn from many sources, including some of the finest church choirs in New York
Since 2000, director John Bradley has been creating original editions of Music for the ensemble, some of it secreted in manuscript collections since the 16th century. Working in concert with libraries, liturgical historians and institutions, Polyhymnia hopes to both
preserve and reintroduce choral masterworks of the Renaissance and early Baroque in ways that both entertain and elucidate. In addition to the concert series, the ensemble's unique relationship with Saint Ignatius of Antioch, a forerunner in the preservation of historical liturgy, provides opportunities to perform Renaissance and Baroque Music in a liturgical context, while fostering Musical ... less
