For more than 130 years, Helsinki University Male Voice Choir has been at the cutting edge of the art of male choir singing in Finland. Established in 1883 as Ylioppilaskunnan Laulajat [The Helsinki University Chorus], Helsinki University Male Voice Choir is Finland’s best-known male choir and a national institution. It is the oldest Finnish-language choir, and as such an indivisible part of Finland’s history. The main thing is to bring audiences enjoyment and unforgettable experiences with musical performances of high quality.

Helsinki University Male Voice Choir has always premiered and recorded works by major living composers. The choir is particularly known as a champion of the music of Jean Sibelius, as his most prominent male choir works were commissioned by Helsinki University Male Voice Choir. In addition to its broad a cappella repertoire spanning numerous eras and styles, the choir performs and records works for male choir and symphony orchestra with internationally distinguished conductors.

With many award-winning recordings and extensive foreign tours to its credit, Helsinki University Male Voice Choir has made itself known and respected worldwide. This has also resulted in bringing the Finnish choral art into the canon of international classical music. Today, the YL Male Choir often seeks to transcend the conventional bounds of choral music through collaboration with soloists and musicians from various genres. In addition to performing with world-class orchestras, the YL Male Choir has appeared with stars of Finnish popular music and on the club scene in Helsinki.

The artistic director of Helsinki University Male Voice Choir is Pasi Hyökki M.Mus.
