YL Male Voice Choir

**YL Male Voice Choir** (Ylioppilaskunnan Laulajat) is one of Finland’s most iconic male choirs, blending rich tradition with fresh musical energy. Founded in 1883 by Helsinki University students, this ensemble has become a cornerstone of Finnish choral music, celebrated for its powerful interpretations of classical works, folk songs, and contemporary compositions. Their releases, like *"Jean Sibelius: Kullervo, Op. 7"* and *"Leevit"*, showcase their knack for balancing timeless Finnish melodies (think *"Maa on Niin Kaunis"*) with modern collaborations, such as their work with composer Olli Kortekangas (*"Migrations"*). Whether teaming up with artists like Eero or Maija or diving into evocative themes like nature and heritage (*"Järvi on siintävä sinipinta"*, *"Kotipoltto"*), YL’s harmonies remain both deeply rooted and innovatively bold. Catch them live for a mix of spine-tingling vocals and that unmistakable Finnish *sisu* spirit!
