Pasi Hyökki

Master of Music and choir conductor Pasi Hyökki (b. 1970) is the artistic director of the Tapiola Choir, YL Male Voice Choir and the chamber choir EMO Ensemble, which he founded in 2000. With the Talla Vocal Ensemble, EMO Ensemble and the Cantabile choir, Hyökki has won several international choir and ensemble singing competitions. He actively records with all his choirs, also acting as an editing producer himself. Recordings with Talla Vocal Ensemble, EMO Ensemble and YL have been selected as choral records of the year. The Klemetti award was awarded to Hyökki in 2014 and in 2023 he received the Heinz Hoffmann medal of the Finnish Youth Choir Association.

As a sopranist, Pasi Hyökki has performed, among others, as the soprano soloist of Handel's Messiah oratorio and Mozart’s Requiem, in his solo concert at the Viitasaari Time of Music festival, as a soloist of the Finnish Radio Symphony Orchestra together with Anu and Piia Komsi, and most recently as the soprano soloist of Lauri Porra's Basso work at the Helsinki Festival 2024.

Pasi Hyökki came up with the idea and acted as the primus motor in the Seasonal Concerts of the Choral Music that started in Helsinki in the fall of 2022. In the spring of 2023, he opened choralworks.fi, a new online distribution service specializing in PDF sheet music for choral works.
