On March 8, TV3 aired the premiere of the new season of the musical show 'Choir Wars'. During the live broadcast, 10 choirs performed pieces related to their respective cities or regions, showcasing the rich musical heritage of Latvia. This season's judging panel included experienced figures in the field, such as choral conductor and music educator Edgars Vītols, along with former contestants Markus Riva and Andrejs Reinis Zitmanis.

The evening's highlight was the performance by the Madona Green Choir, which scored a perfect 30 points under the direction of conductor Fiņķis. The judges praised the choir's outstanding performance, while Vītols expressed enthusiasm for the opening act, performed by Jānis Aišpurs and the Ikšķile Sun Choir. They delivered an inspiring rendition of 'Daugava', composed by Jānis Lūsēns and based on text by Rainis, well-known from the band 'Zodiaks'.

Overall, the first episode set a high standard for the season, with the choirs bringing diverse performances to the stage, which not only highlighted their musical skills but also fostered a sense of community pride related to their localities. This competitive but celebratory atmosphere is expected to engage audiences throughout the season as more choirs vie for the title.
