The Academic Female Voice Choir Lyran (Swedish: Akademiska Damkören Lyran, lit. 'The Academic Women's Choir the Lyre', pronounced [ɑkɑˈdeːmiskɑ ˈdɑːmˌkœːren ˈlyːrɑn]), also referred to as simply Lyran, is a Finland-Swedish academic female voice choir in Helsinki, Finland.[1][2] It is the only women's choir affiliated with the University of Helsinki.

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[a] 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]
