LEMPIKUORO: Lempikuoro was founded in 2019 in Helsinki and was awarded with two gold stamps in the 2023 Tampereen Sävel chorus review. This mixed choir composed of forty experienced singers has worked together with a wide range of choirs, artists, and composers. For example, Lempikuoro has performed in the Sun & Sea opera and performed Pulitzer- and Grammy-winning US composer Caroline Shaw’s piece To the Hands in its Finland premiere together with the string quartet Nome. The choir is conducted by Julia Lainema, who graduated from the Choral Conducting programme in Sibelius Academy in 2022. Lainema is also the conductor for the choirs Ahjo Ensemble and chamber choir Näsi.

A warm welcome to our concert!
