Māris Sirmais

Māris Sirmais is a Latvian conductor and artistic director best known for his work with the State Choir Latvija, one of the Baltic region’s most celebrated vocal ensembles. A champion of choral music, he’s carved out a niche blending sacred works, contemporary compositions, and Latvian cultural heritage into emotionally charged performances. His recent projects, like the centenary-themed *Aeternum: Latvian Composers for the Centenary of Latvia* and the introspective *Atnākšu pie sevis*, highlight his knack for weaving national pride into lush choral tapestries. He’s also collaborated on genre-straddling projects like the playful children’s opera *Kora kameropera bērniem EJ NU EJ* and brought depth to sacred works by composers like Paweł Łukaszewski. Whether leading solemn hymns or experimental amber-inspired soundscapes (*Canadian Amber*), Sirmais keeps Latvian choral traditions fresh and boundary-pushing.
