Who are we?

We are a group of men and women who enjoy singing, especially Finnish choral music, for ourselves and our listeners’ pleasure. People in our choir range in age from the teens up to 90. Most of us have some connection with Finnish culture such as ancestry, travel, study, friends or spouses. Some are fascinated by Finnish music and its composers (many others in addition to Sibelius). We feel a commitment to the community to keeping Finnish music alive.

What do we sing?

Mostly Finnish choral numbers, folk songs, patriotic, humorous, sacred and secular. Besides Finnish, we have also sung in English, Swedish, Latin and Estonian.

When and where do we sing?

Rehearsals:   Mondays 7:30 PM
 at the Finnish Lutheran Church (site)
8504 13th Avenue NW, Seattle (map)
