YL Male Voice Choir

“Luminous,” says the International Record Review, “is precisely the word to describe the sound” of the YL Male Voice Choir. “Finland’s National Treasure” has immeasurably enriched the world of music by commissioning and premiering many of Jean Sibelius’ best known works and maintaining a commitment to contemporary choral music—since the 1980s the choir has premiered more than 100 works. But it is the gloriousness of the choir’s sound that has enthralled audiences from Tokyo to New York. Save yourself a trip to Helsinki and catch this astonishing 65-voice ensemble in Iowa City.
