Vaput in English

Vaput, the Oldest Women's Choir in Finnish

Vaput is an amateur female choir in the City of Jyväskylä, Central Finland. The choir is led by music pedagogue Ulla Kotamäki.

Vaput - 115 Years of Singing

Vaput is the oldest still active female choir in Finnish. In particular, Vaput is known for promoting and performing choral music from Central Finland. The choir has been The Female Choir of the Year in Finland three times.

Repertoire

The choir's program is versatile. In addition to traditional choral music, our repertoire includes more entertaining and modern choral songs as well as spiritual compositions from different parts of the world.

Vaput takes on new challenges and the repertoire is renewed regularly. On the other hand, the choir still sings songs that are some of the very first choral works written for a female choir in Finnish.

Concerts and events

Vaput and the smaller singing groups within it perform actively during the year in various events and concerts. The highlight of the year is the traditional May Day Coffee Concert. You'll find our concerts and events @vaputlaulaa.

The choir practices Tuesday evenings from 18:00 to 20:30 o'clock in the School of Kuokkala.
