founded

Helsingin Laulu – The Song of Helsinki – is a cheerfully enthusiastic, energetic, aspiring mixed choir of about 40 singers. The choir is conducted by Dr. Hanna Remes. We are goal-oriented and put a lot of emphasis on working well together. High musical quality, a well-pitched sound and our own recognizable tone are important to us. In Helsingin Laulu, you van always rely on your fellow singer: each of us bears responsibility for his/her own voice and place in the voice group.

The choir was founded in 1951, so 2021 is our seventieth anniversary!
