Rytmisen kuoromusiikin liitto ry
(Association of the Rhythmic Choir Music, registered association)

Rytmisen kuoromusiikin liitto is an active organization, established in 1994, whose members are rhythmic music choirs and singing groups.
During the twenty-years anniversary of its foundation, at the beginning of 2014, Rytmisen kuoromusiikin liitto joined the Finnish Amateur Musicians’ Association (Suomen Laulajain ja Soittajain Liitto) becoming the youngest of its six independent special federations.
We mainly value the joy of making music, therefore we welcome as members all groups practicing choir singing, regardless their skills and backgrounds.
