The Academic Female Voice Choir Lyran, in Swedish: Akademiska Damkören Lyran (pronounced [akaˈdeːmɪska ˈdɑːmkœːrɛn ˈlyːran]),[a] also referred to as simply Lyran (pronounced [ˈlyːran]),[b] is a Finland-Swedish academic female voice choir in Helsinki, Finland.[1][2] It is the only female voice choir affiliated with the University of Helsinki.
History
[edit]The choir was established in 1946[3] by a group of female students in Helsinki, led by Eja Tollet née Sevelius, who became the first artistic director of the choir.[2] The choir was known as Gillekören Lyran until 1948.[4][5]
Present artistic director Jutta Seppinen, MMus, began her tenure in the autumn term of 2009.[2]
Ever since 1954, the choir has collaborated extensively with the Academic Male Voice Choir of Helsinki (Swedish: Akademiska Sångföreningen),[6] the sole other Swedish-language University of Helsinki choir. The two choirs give several annually recurring concerts together.[7]
