Join us for a spectacular evening as the Finnish lawyer’s choir Lain Huuto celebrates its 15th anniversary. In this great anniversary concert, there’s something in store for everyone. Lain Huuto, under the direction of its artistic director Paavo Hyökki, will perform a rich variety of contemporary choral music, including but not limited to, premiere performances of new works composed exclusively for Lain Huuto, promising a night of fresh sounds. In true Lain Huuto style, you are in for a memorable evening and an all-round experience that will amaze, amuse and bring tears to your eyes.
Lain Huuto is a Finnish choir consisting of lawyers and law students, founded in 2009, whose singers are united not only by their profession but also by their motivation and ambition to make demanding, high quality choral music. The choir performs and gives concerts regularly, and has received many awards and successes in international choir competitions.
Paavo Hyökki is the artistic director of Mieskuoro Laulajat, Chorus Cathedralis Aboensis (CCA), the Finnish Male Choir Association’s representative choir Liiton Miehet and Lain Huuto, the latter two since their inception. He has also collaborated with several choirs and orchestras such as EMO Ensemble, Key Ensemble, Lauluyhtye Rajaton, Club for Five, Finnish Radio Symphony Orchestra (RSO) and Helsinki Philharmonic Orchestra (HKO).
