The Latvian Radio Choir is a full - time professional chamber choir founded in 1940. Since 1992 the Choir has worked under the leadership of Sigvards Kļava and Kaspars Putniņš. The Radio Choir’s repertoire encompasses an epoch spanning the renaissance and the present day; however, some of the most highly esteemed performances are those by contemporary composers, Sergei Rachmaninoff and Baroque music. The Choir is open to creative experiments and often participates in dramatic performances of contemporary music and multimedia projects.
