From Embassy of Finland:
You are invited to a performance by Dominante, one of the most famous Finnish choirs. During the past three decades, Dominante has become a desired choral performer in Finland thanks to its versatile repertoire ranging from traditional to ultramodern choral music and from musicals to orchestral works.

Founded in 1975 as a student choir within the boundaries of the Helsinki University of Technology campus, it still consists mostly of students of Aalto University, University of Helsinki and the Sibelius Academy.

Dominante has appeared on more than twenty recordings.  For its latest a cappella recording entitled “Lempeä”, Dominante was given the “Record of the Year” award by the Finnish Choral Directors’ Association in 2009.  In 2010 Dominante participated in the recordings of the complete works of Jean Sibelius for the BIS record label.  Dominante’s performances of these choral works for mixed choir have been critically acclaimed across Europe.  Dominante also encourages its members in vocal group activities.  Many of the choir’s quartets and quintets have won prizes in national contests.  The Choir has toured the world on a yearly basis and visited countries on all continents.
