“When Dominante-choir is along in a concert, one may be certain that their performance is perfectly polished.” South Finland Daily

Vocal clarity and sensual interpretation of a cappella repertoire are hallmarks of this exceptional Finnish choir, which will perform a feast of demanding choral works in two concerts.

Under choir master Seppo Murto, this remarkably versatile choir, founded in 1975, performs across the globe while working closely with the Finnish National Opera and Helsinki Philharmonic Orchestra at home. Its Royal Albert Hall appearance with the Lahti Symphony Orchestra at the 2007 BBC Proms was highly commended, drawing great praise from audience and critics alike.

In its first concert, Dominante performs works spanning the history of Finnish choral music from the late romantic era to the most popular contemporary works of today. Dominante will also delight audience members in its second concert with a selection of traditional Finnish folk songs and some all-time favourite children’s songs.
