Choir Maska, hailing from the Babīte region of Latvia, has carved out a significant niche in the contemporary choral music scene with their evocative performances that deftly blend classical sensibilities with modern artistic expression. Founded by conductor and artistic director Jānis Ozols in 2000, the choir has built a reputation for its innovative approach to repertoire, embracing a wide range of genres and often exploring the rich tapestry of Latvian choral music alongside international works. Maska, which means "face" in Latvian, symbolically represents the choir's mission to display the multifaceted nature of choral music to the world.

With recent works such as "Babītes BAOBABS," "Dedication," "Ziema," and "Seven Stories of the Gospel of Thomas," Choir Maska continues to demonstrate their versatility and depth, delving into themes that resonate with modern audiences while maintaining the ensemble's celebrated vocal purity and precision. These pieces showcase the choir's commitment to conceptual performances that are both intellectually stimulating and emotionally stirring. Through these compositions, Maska not only pays homage to their Latvian roots but also contributes to the global conversation of contemporary choral music, earning them both critical acclaim and a dedicated following.
