Singer Elza Rozentāle invites you to the ethno – jazz concert “Bird Flies”. Mix of meditative peace and energetic joy for your soul.

Jazz singer Elza Rozentāle is accompanied by the contrabass player Toms Poišs and guitar player Kaspars Vizulis and together they have made a vivid concert programme in two parts.

Elza Rozentāle is one of the most expressive singers on the Latvian music scene. An artist with a unique and very strong voice that is not typical to the Latvian musical environment; her silky tone combines with the solidity and strength of ethno singing. She has gained the experience of ethno singing in the folk ensemble Kokle and children’s choir Via Stella where Elza acquired a very distinctive singing manner. Within the framework of the world music festival Porta the singer participated in the project Three Secrets of Harmony, performing in Riga, Tbilisi and Kishinev. For many years she has participated in the cabaret concert performances staged by the director Viktors Runtulis in the concert hall Palladium. Elza Rozentāle gained broader public recognition in the TV show Your Face Sounds Familiar where she showcased her strong talent of being able to change voices and confidently become other globally and locally famous artists; this allowed Elza to gain genuine love of the judges and viewers and get a place in the finals.

Toms Poišs, jazz contrabass player, obtained a Master’s Degree in the Jāzeps Vītols Latvian Academy of Music, has played in the band Astro’n’out, performed together with Daumants Kalniņš, as well as with Dons and has participated in the coming out of the last two albums of Dons; he has also played together with kokle player Laima Jansone and performed in various jazz groups.

Kaspars Vizulis, jazz guitar player, graduated from the conservatoire in Amsterdam where he studied for five years and then returned to Latvia. Currently he actively performs in various jazz bands not only in Latvia, but also in Europe. He works as a teacher in the Musical College of Ventspils.
