SEIM Ensemble

SEIM Ensemble is a group of old friends and musicians from Helsinki, founded in 2020.  All singers have a strong background in music – most members of the group have sung with each other since their high school years in the Sibelius Upper Secondary School. The ensemble's repertoire covers all historical periods, including mixed choir repertoire sung by male voices, new male choir music, as well as the singers' own compositions.

In 2021 SEIM Ensemble performed in the International Leevi Madetoja Male Voice Choir Competition, winning the second prize in the international series. In 2022, the group made its opera debut at the Helsinki Music Centre as the men's chorus in Mozart's Zauberflöte. In 2023, Tampereen Sävel awarded the ensemble with two gold stamps in an international review.

The artistic director of SEIM Ensemble is Riku Miettunen. In addition, Miettunen leads Male Voice Choir Alvar and sings in the professional choir Tampere Cappella.
