The Hummingbird (Kolibri)

Choir presentation

The vocal group The Hummingbird (Kolibri) is from Riga, Latvia. It brings together eight highly motivated young singers, aged 17 to 19, who have been singing together since they were children. Over the past three years, the group has become increasingly interested in a cappella music, drawing inspiration from various vocal groups such as “Cosmos” and “Latvian Voices” from Latvia, as well as world-renowned ensembles like “Voces8” and “The Real Group.”

Awards & distinctions

Over the past two years, they have participated in national competitions in Latvia and have proven to be among the best Latvian vocal ensembles in their age group. Last year, the group participated in its first international competition, “We Are Singing Adriatic” in Opatija, Croatia, where they received two gold diplomas and the competition’s Grand Prix.
