We take inspiration from the fresh air of the pine forest and the strength of the surging sea, from the joy of the sun in people’s eyes and their inexhaustible vitality. We are united by the place from which we come. The Saulkrasti mixed choir ANIMA was founded in 2001 and is considered one of the best choirs in the Vidzeme region, Latvia.
