Hi you who are interested in singing!
Would you like to sing in good and multidisciplinary company? HOL (Hämäläis-Osakunnan Laulajat) is now looking for new singers! To join the choir you don’t have to be a member of Tavastia Nation, but it is a great way to get introduced to the wonderful multidisciplinary community beyond university boundaries.
Auditions for new singers are held twice on Tuesdays 14.1. and 21.1. We also have three open rehearsals on Tuesdays 7.1., 14.1. and 21.1. at 18-21 that anyone can join. Auditions and rehearsals take place in Hämäläis-Osakunta (Urho Kekkosen katu 4-6 D, 4th floor).

HOL prepares two to three programs per year in a goal-oriented but relaxed manner. Despite being the oldest academic mixed choir in Finland with a 95-year history, we retain a youthful spirit. We practice on Tuesdays at 18-21 in Kamppi.
In the auditions, you will be singing a song of your own choice, perform a small sight singing task and a few melody replication tasks, and sing Finlandia hymn in a quartet. You can sign up for the auditions by typing your initials on the google sheets page above. Please also contact hol.rekrytointi@gmail.com, so that we can send you the sheet music for Finlandia hymn. The rehearsals will be held in English.
Currently we are looking especially for tenors and bases, but sopranos and altos are also welcome.
We are looking forward to seeing you in the open rehearsals and auditions!
