AboutHaving already been acknowledged as the best young Latvian group in the first year of its existence, vocal group Cosmos' first album received an award as best pop album of the year 2003 and achieved platinum status in sales. Their distinctive a cappella performance without instruments, a vocal style previously unfamiliar in Latvia, gave these six young musicians the chance to skyrocket into the forefront of Latvian popular and academic music scenes.
Drawing on a professional musical education and with a very broad range of voices, Cosmos give full expression to their talents across a broad range of musical styles and genres from medieval chant to modern jazz and pop music. In the three years since their formation, Cosmos has already released four albums.
The professionalism of Cosmos has also been recognized beyond the borders of their own country. Proud winner of the international competition for young singers of popular music "New Wave 2004" – gaining a television audience of 200 million people – Cosmos also won second prize at the challenging International Choral Music Competition in Gorizia (Italy) the same year. They have performed, with Bobby McFerrin, his hit "Don't Worry, Be Happy" and also with international and domestic music stars including The Real Group, Inese Galante, Laima Vaikule, the Latvian Radio Choir and many more.
Every performance by Cosmos attracts a full house not only in Latvia but in the other Baltic States, Russia and Ukraine and, as a fresh and vibrant musical project, Cosmos is regularly invited to represent Latvia at a range of international events.
To underpin the continuing development of their musical education, Cosmos devote much time to workshops with world-leading a cappella music professionals such as The Hilliard Ensemble, Take 6, The Real Group, The New York Voices, The Flying Pickets and M-Pact.
A young, ambitious and gifted group of musicians, Cosmos is increasingly warmly recognized abroad in their important role of representing Latvia as a truly musical nation and they are keen to introduce themselves to yet wider audiences. Drawing on profound European musical traditions, Cosmos enthusiastically put their academic music background to work as they explore the almost unlimited possibilities of the human voice – nature's most incredible musical instrument.
