Cantores Minores
- The Cantores Minores,
the Helsinki Cathedral Boys' Choir, was founded in December 1952 by
Finnish pastor Tarmo Nuotio and Finnish-American Dr. Ruth-Esther Hillilä.
The Cantores Minores represents the rare type of Protestant boys' choirs
holding the great German choirs such as Bach's Thomanerchor in Leipzig
and Schütz's Kreuzchor in Dresden as its models. However, in contrast to
the models which function as time-honoured boarding schools the boys of
the Cantores Minores gather together four times a week to choir
rehearsals from the Helsinki Metropolitan Area. Instead of eight hours a
day, the boys have music practise eight hours a week. All the same their
aims equal those of their models
