Zigrida Ansamblis (Zigrīda Ansamblis) is an Australian folk music band formed in Brisbane, Queensland. The ensemble makes extensive use of the kokles, a type of box zither, in their performances.[1] Zigrida Ansamblis is particularly notable as the only currently active kokle ensemble in Australia.[2]

Zigrida Ansamblis tracks have received airtime on ABC Classic FM, an Australia-wide national radio broadcast.[3][4]
