Best Choral Performance
MERIDIAN
Irene Messoloras
Serenity gathers a collection of timeless choral works spanning more than a century — from the delicate lyricism of Fauré’s Pie Jesu to the Baltic vitality of Uģis Prauliņš’s Missa Rigensis: Kyrie Eleison. The recording showcases Meridian’s versatility and champions new voices — including the first-ever choral interpretation of Ukrainian composer Hanna Havrylets’ Prayer, featuring soprano Grace Davidson.
Produced by GRAMMY® Award–winning producer Matthew Bennitt and engineered and mixed by GRAMMY® Award–Winner Mike Hatch, Serenity balances vulnerability and resilience, moving from quiet introspection to radiant affirmation.

“A voice so radiantly pure in colour and tone that you might think yourself in heaven.” — The Times (Geoff Brown)
