YL Male Voice Choir (formerly: Helsinki University Chorus; Finnish: Ylioppilaskunnan Laulajat) was founded by P. J. Hannikainen in 1883 to become the choir of the Helsinki University. It is also the oldest Finnish-language choir.^[1] Nowadays the choir is not completely tied to the university, but all applicants are expected to have passed the matriculation exam or study at any university level.^[2] Up to June 2010, YL was conducted by Matti Hyökki.^[3] In July 2010, Pasi Hyökki began his tenure as conductor of the choir.
