Ogre county Culture Centre mixed choir "Grīva" was established in 1990. For 19 years, since 2006, it is led by conductor Evita Konuša who is currently assisted by the choirmaster Aivars Igaunis. In the choir “Grīva” 40 people of different ages and professions are united by love to music and synergy. The choir's repertoire is varied in forms, genres, and styles- alongside the brightest pieces of Latvian cultural heritage, you will always find new works made by Latvian and foreign composers, lesser-known arrangements of folk songs, compositions by domestic and foreign classics from different centuries. Choir actively participates in various projects and concerts in Ogre as well as all around Latvia and has given concerts in Lithuania, Estonia, Norway, Germany, Austria, Georgia, Croatia, USA and Canada. Since the choir was established it has been a part of all (seven) Latvian Song and Dance Festivals. Although it is going to be the first international competition experience for choir “Grīva”, everyone, individually and collectively, feels ready for this challenge.
Evita Konuša graduated from the choir conducting department of Jāzeps Vītols Academy of Music of Latvia obtaining a bachelor's degree in choral conducting in 2005. Since 2006 conducts the mixed choir "Grīva" and since 2009 mixed choir “Cesis Castle choir”. For more than 15 years Evita Konuša works as a choir class teacher at music schools in Ogre, Lielvārde and leads the children' choir "Lielvārde". Evita Konuša has received the best conductor award in several international choir competitions. For the mixed choir “Grīva” Evita is a sensitive, but at the same time demanding conductor, with relentless work ethic and inspiration for new achievements, one who is able to select the most suitable repertoire to reach the hearts of domestic and foreign choral music lovers and to prove the choir's abilities and capabilities.
