The evening, which you can watch in full above, proved to be a pleasant one for Latvia.
Percussionist Sonja Misiņa claimed second place in the competition behind accordionist Michal Stochel of Poland.
But another nice surprise followed, with confirmation that Liepāja, Latvia's third-largest city, will host the competition in 2027 during its period as a European Capital of Culture.
Well done Sonja!
