Vox Aurea (Golden Voice) was established in 1968 and consists of children between the ages of 11 and 18 years, who enter the choir by audition. There are four training choirs where younger children are prepared for membership of the Vox Aurea Children’s Choir.

Vox Aurea is one of the best children’s choirs in Finland and is also internationally recognized as one of the best in the world, having won awards in many national and international competitions. The choir has travelled widely in Europe, North America and Asia, and has recorded a number of CD’s, including both classical and very demanding modern choral music.

Sanna Salminen has been conducting the choir since 2009. She works as a university teacher in Music Pedagogy under the Department of Education at the University of Jyväskylä. Between 1998 and 2006 she was assistant conductor and voice trainer for Vox Aurea and the Musica Musica Chamber Choir.
