Kokle Club is the only middle generation kokle ensemble in Latvia. Founded in 2003, its members have spent most of their lives playing the concert kokle. The ensemble brings together musicians aged 33 to 73, captivating audiences with their energetic performances and rich multi-part singing.

Kokle Club regularly performs in churches, concert halls, and community venues. Its repertoire includes Latvian, Lithuanian, Estonian, and Finnish folk music, as well as arrangements of classical works for kokles. A special place in the ensemble’s repertoire is dedicated to arrangements created by its Artistic Director, Iveta Tauriņa.
