Description
The Mägi Ensemble is a professional SA vocal ensemble that performs and records music from the Baltic region of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. The ensemble’s mission is to perform and record music from the Baltic region and to promote new choral works from that area, especially those by women composers. Alongside our mission, our vision is to use the power of music to connect with the community and continue to celebrate cultural heritage through the arts. We exemplify the values of cultural understanding, community, quality and commitment. Our philosophy as both a specialized repertoire ensemble and a treble ensemble is to demonstrate the effect that music can have for empowerment, both in social responsibility and gender identity.
Specializing in music from all three countries in the Baltic region, The Mägi Ensemble holds a unique position representing each country individually and the unifying aspects of the region as a whole. One of our most significant annual performances is the Baltic Deportation Memorial Service, where all three Seattle area Baltic communities come together to honor and remember those who were brutally taken from their families in June of 1941. We collaborate regularly with members of the Baltic community in the Seattle region and throughout the United States, and have cultivated relationships with ensembles and composers in each of the Baltic countries. The Mägi Ensemble has also sung for visiting Ambassadors from Latvia and Lithuania as well as past Latvian president, Andris Bērziņš and past Estonian president Toomas Ilves.
Auditions or How to Join: Membership is by invitation, but we are always interested in hearing great musicians!
