The story

Night of the Choirs Helsinki in Helsinki

Night of the Choirs corresponds to Kuorojen kierros, or choir tour, one of Finland's largest choral events, opening with a joint concert on Senate Square before more than a hundred and twenty choirs disperse to perform for free across Helsinki's restaurants, streets, and parks into the evening. Several thousand singers and over three hundred individual concerts take place in a single night.

What appears in English-language listings as Night of the Choirs corresponds most closely to Kuorojen kierros, literally choir tour or choir round, one of Finland's largest choral events and a long-running partner event of the wider Helsinki Festival each August.

02

The mystery stays covered

Admission is free throughout, and audiences move between venues on foot, sampling a range of choral styles from classical repertoire to popular arrangements in a single night's walk across the city
