Ēriks is among the recipients of the 2018 Latvian Copyright Awards, which were presented at the annual ceremony of copyright society AKKA/LAA on 3 December. His works Stars and Only in Sleep were last year’s most performed works by a Latvian composer worldwide as well as inside Latvia.
It is the second time that Ēriks receives a Latvian Copyright Award. In 2006 his oratorio Passion and Resurrection was the most performed large-scale vocal-symphonic work by a Latvian composer worldwide and in Latvia.
