September in the horizon! We will continue our rehearsals on 3 September 2024 with the new semester. We’re so excited to bring more music to your ears this fall! 🍁🍂 We are also looking for new singers to join our group - more details below in Finnish.

Oletko työikäinen, musikaalinen, suomea sujuvasti puhuva nainen Alankomaissa? Tervetuloa laulamaan kanssamme syksyllä 2024! Etsimme mukaan uusia laulajia kaikkiin ääniin. Kuoron lisäksi olemme suomalaisyhteisö, joita yhdistää halu tehdä ja laulaa yhdessä, ylittää itsensä, ja musiikin teorian perustaidot. Vaikka sinulta olisi vierähtänyt hetki jos toinenkin viime musiikkiharrastuksesta, TAIKA on loistava paikka verestellä yhdessä laulamisen riemua.

We wish all our followers joy on this Internationa

We wish all our followers joy on this International Women’s Day! Singing together keeps reminding us how female communities and making music together can create support, friendship, and empowerment. The song in the video describes how we inherit our voice from our mothers, unite our voices with our sisters, and pass it on to our children: “soikoon meissä äiteimme äänet / sydämiin lastemme laulavain / laula siskoni, äänesi liitä / äänestäs kiitä / sillä laulua elämä soi!” ✨ We hope this song brightens up your day!

Oletko työikäinen, suomalainen tai suomea sujuvasti puhuva, musikaalinen nainen Alankomaissa? Hei, me saattaisimme olla hyvä ‘match’! TAIKA on Alankomaiden suomalainen naiskuoro, jossa 15 naista kokoontuu viikoittain harjoittelemaan yhdessä Haagissa. Yhdessä laulamisen lisäksi olemme suomalaisyhteisö, joka ylläpitää ja edistää suomen kieltä ja kulttuuria. Laulajamme ovat eri tasoisia musiikin harrastajia, joita yhdistää sekä suomalaisuus että halu ylittää itsensä, tukea muita, ja perustaidot nuottien lukemisessa.

We have news to share! ✨ Tuuli Korte will be leading us in 2024 as the TAIKA conductor. Kerttu Keinänen, our wonderful previous conductor, will continue singing with us as one of the TAIKA singers.

Tuuli Korte is a versatile musician, a singer, and a violinist from Finland. She actively performs as both a soloist and a member of ensembles and orchestras, participating in various productions and festivals in Europe.

Her fascination with the connection and imitation between the human voice and instruments has always been at the center of her musical exploration. She is inspired by the diverse genres, affects, rhetoric, and colors of music.

Tuuli’s journey led her to the Netherlands in 2019, when she started her studies in baroque violin at the Royal Conservatoire of The Hague, specialising in early music performance practice. She has also pursued classical singing studies at the Helsinki Conservatoire and the Royal Conservatoire in The Hague. During her studies, she additionally delved into choir and ensemble leading.

Beyond her performances, Tuuli finds joy in sharing her love for music and knowledge by teaching singing and the violin in the Netherlands. Having sung in choirs from a young age, she happily takes on the role of a choir conductor with Taika Choir. Tuuli has a solid background as an orchestra player and is a member of the Juliana Quartet, a string ensemble specializing in 18th-century music, and the Freesia Ensemble.

Please, join us in giving Tuuli a warm welcome in the comments! 🩵

Thank you for attending our summer concert yesterday despite the heat wave! 🌞🌞🌞 We could use some rain already in the Netherlands, so perhaps this song from yesterday will bring it! (Virpi Eroma - Kaatosateessa)

Our summer concert 'Song of My Heart' is just a few days away!

Were you wondering why we chose the name?

For our singers, singing in Finnish not only means a chance to connect with others in our own language. It also means a chance to re-live our childhood summers and favourite winters all over again. Many of the songs in this concert take us back to the Finnish nature – the smell of the birches and the spruce trees, the swaying timothy grasses, the gravel roads, the call of a cuckoo… These Finnish folk songs represent a piece of our hearts. Additionally, one of the opening songs of the night will be called “Sydämeni laulu”, which translates to “Song of my Heart”. We are excited to share it with you on the 11th!

Ps. We just spotted a small piece of Finland in the center of the Hague! Just look at those birch trees, makes us think of home...
