The Helsinki Chamber Choir reaches a significant milestone in 2025: 20 years of singing together as an independent professional choir!

There have been significant steps along the way: the reform of the laws regarding state funding for the arts to make choirs eligible, and subsequently becoming a recipient of state support; a series of award-winning recordings culminating in a GRAMMY in 2024; and increased international networking partly thanks to the choir’s membership of TENSO, the European network of professional chamber choirs. Our deep gratitude goes to all the public and private bodies that have supported us along the various stages of our development.
2025 sees an exciting range of projects marking the choir’s anniversary. Collaboration is at the centre of the Helsinki Chamber Choir’s activities, and we are delighted that the Finnish Baroque Orchestra has agreed to join us for our anniversary concert in April, which features five contemporary works alongside music from the Baroque. We also look forward to collaborating with the Freiburg-based ensemble recherche for the first time, as well as continuing our long-standing associations with the Finnish Radio Symphony Orchestra and Helsinki Philharmonic Orchestra.
