About the choir

Riga Orthodox Chamber Choir BLAGOVEST from Latvia was founded in 1990 with an aim to popularize forgotten treasures of Russian sacred music, which makes the most part of the choir's repertoire. 

The choir has wide range of interests: from monophonic neumatic chants, called znamenniy raspev, based on Byzantine church music up to contemporary composers’ quests of spirituality. Various secular compositions of outstanding Russian, Latvian, and Western composers are included in the choir's repertoire as well. Read more

The Meeting of Music and Light

November 6, 2026 at 6:38 pm

The Meeting of Music and Light

At 19.00 on November 7, 2026 at Riga Luther Church in Torņakalns – the Meeting of Music and Light, where music will become visible and light will become audible.

The concert programme, which will bring together choral voices, the sound of the violin, the majesty of the organ and a specially created composition of light, will feature works by Arvo Pärt, Pēteris Vasks, Alfred Schnittke, Emīls Dārziņš, Dmitry Bortniansky and other composers – music in which spiritual depth, fragile silence and monumental power of sound come together.
