How Veteli Boys’ Choir Was Established

When Simo Kangas was a little boy, the cantor of Veteli’s congregation often gathered a group of children to sing with actual church choir. Simo Kangas had the chance to sing in that choir and to go on concert tours with them, which were all wonderful experiences. And as grew older, Simo Kangas wanted to give the same chance to those younger children. He remember, how he had many times admired the performances of famous boys’ choirs like Cantores Minores and Wiener Sängerknaben. He loved the beautiful and fresh sound of a boys’ choir and for a long time he had a dream of establishing one in Veteli. In the spring of 1985 that dream came through.
