It performs both unaccompanied works and large-scale productions for choir and orchestra, both in Finland and on its tours abroad, and engages in partnership with the Finnish Radio Symphony Orchestra, the Helsinki Philharmonic, the Finnish Baroque Orchestra and, especially, the Lahti Symphony and Lohja City Orchestra.

Its repertoire has included major works by Bach, Handel and Mozart, Finnish classics and contemporary music, and it has premiered dozens of Finnish works.
