History


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[lower-alpha 1] 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]

Lyran has since 1968 kept a close relation to the Norwegian male choir Trondhjems Studentersangforening.[8][9][10]
