The Latvian-Finnish choir “Ziemeļmeita” was born in Helsinki in 2012. From the very beginning, the choir has been led by the talented conductor Ilmārs Millers, who comes to see his singers from Latvia every week. Since the very beginning, at the first five years the choir was looking for right direction and the best way to express ourselves. We had high hopes, and we felt uncertain about the future at the same time, and we were looking for praise. We are in the next stage now. The choir is growing and developing. The quality of the performance has improved, and it has also been appreciated by professionals: “Ziemeļmeita” has won high places in the contest between Latvian choir groups from overseas. The artistic level of the choir has risen and the number of choir concerts has also increased. It leads to the recognition of “Ziemeļmeita” in the Latvian society at Latvia and in Latvians around the world, as well it has increased interest in Finnish-speaking choir music lovers. The choir is about to reach the teenage. Nobody know how many impossible things we are going to do in the future. But now the choir “Ziemeļmeita” actively participates in diaspora choir events organized by the European Latvian Association ELA, such as the European Latvian Culture Festival in Brussels in 2015 and in Dublin in 2019. “Ziemeļmeita” has taken part in the most significant choir events in Latvia, the General Latvian Song Festival 2 times and was a part of Nation Choir in a grand performance of the rock opera “Lāčplēsis” at the Arena Riga, dedicated to the centenary of Latvia. The choir is performing artistic activities and working with social activities among Finnish Latvians. The belonging to your nation and keeping that feeling alive is one of the most important issues of the people living out of the lands of origins. Since 2016, Rihards Zarinš has been the second conductor of the choir “Ziemeļmeita”. The choir cooperates regularly with guest conductor Karol Kisiel from Poland.
About
Since the middle of August 2021, after ten months break, choir Ziemeļmeita has rehearsals again. It is so touching to create the music together and enjoy meeting friends in the choir. It is already the second year, when choir is singing in the bigger premises in Helsinki German school. We are thankful for the financial support to the Latvian Ministry of Culture, World Federation of Free Latvians and Helsinki German school.
Conductor and artistic director
Ilmars Millers (1982) have conducted chorus Ziemelmeita from the very beginning, from the time he was finalising his Bachelor’s theses at Conducting Department in Estonian Academy of Music and Theatre in 2012/13. The performing quality of chorus have grown a lot from persistent work of Ilmārs. Ziemelmeita have become both messenger of traditions of Latvian choir music in Finland and a significant part of Latvian choir’s society overseas or at Latvian diaspora. The members of chorus Ziemelmeita are very proud of their conductor Ilmars Millers, because he has been invited to be part of creation and implementation team of largest Latvian diaspora happenings, like European Festival of Latvian Culture ELKS 2015 at Brussel and Festival for 70 Years since first Latvian Song Festival at Esslingen at 2017. Chorus Ziemelmeita is appreciating a lot that talented conductor Ilmars Millers, is willing to share his time and energy every week for traveling and conducting in Helsinki as well he is leading Siguldas mixed chorus Atvars in Latvia and The Chamber Choir of Tallinn University of Technology in Estonia. What we would do without him? Is there somebody else in Finland who would understands the essence of the main activities of Latvian choir life, like yearly contests and the grand national song and dance festivals arranged every fourth year as well could lead us through the jungles of complicated Latvian choir music?
