Jyv\u00e4skyl\u00e4 Female Choir \u2013 Women\u2019s Choir in Jyv\u00e4skyl\u00e4<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Jyv\u00e4skyl\u00e4 Female Choir is an ambitious women\u2019s choir founded in 1952 and based in Jyv\u00e4skyl\u00e4, Finland. The choir consists of around 40 singers of different ages, united by a shared passion for musical excellence and the joy of making music together in a supportive atmosphere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We rehearse weekly, organise singing retreats and perform several times each year, both in our own concerts and in collaboration with other choirs and orchestras.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Repertoire and Artistic Work<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Our repertoire focuses primarily on contemporary Finnish and international music for women\u2019s choir. We also perform more traditional works and regularly commission new compositions from Finnish composers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The choir has organised two composition competitions. In 2012, the competition was won by Swedish composer\u00a0Staffan Storm\u00a0with his work\u00a0Ocks\u00e5 dessa dagar signerade<\/em>. The piece has been performed with a symphony orchestra in Jyv\u00e4skyl\u00e4 and Vaasa. Orchestral works written specifically for women\u2019s choir are rare in the Finnish choral scene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
