The programme will also feature Maalaulu [Earth Song] by Michael McGlynn, commissioned by the online edition of the Tampere Vocal Music Festival in 2021.
Come and sing with a choir one thousand strong! Choral enthusiasts come together to celebrate the 50th birthday of the Tampere Vocal Music Festival in the only appropriate way – by singing together. All the Artistic Directors of the festival over the years have been invited to lead the singing. Each has chosen a favourite in their respective genres to conduct.
