The artists
YL Male Voice Choir
The YL Male Voice Choir is a pioneer in Finnish choral music. Founded at the University of Helsinki in 1883, it is the oldest Finnish-language choir in Finland. Its cultural merits, extensive history of concerts, several tours abroad and numerous critically acclaimed recordings have established it as one of the world’s most prominent male voice choirs.
Pasi Hyökki
Pasi Hyökki has been the new conductor of the YL Male Voice Choir since 2010. In addition, he is the founder and artistic director of the Talla Vocal Ensemble, and also conductor of the Tapiola Choir, the world-famous children's choir, and of the EMO Ensemble mixed choir.
