Tuuletar is an exceptional, energetic and vibrant vocal group, consisting of four diverse young women. These extraordinary singers from Finland met each other during an exchange year in Royal Academy of Music in Aarhus, Denmark. Since 2012 they have been singing, composing and performing together, creating their own unique, mesmerising sound, which captures and appeals to listeners of all ages and cultures. Their freshly invigorating and self-composed music, highly expressive and exotic voices and exquisite stage presence will leave no audience dry and cold.

In July 2015 they won the honorable Ward Swingle Silver Award in the POP-category of the International A Cappella competition VOKAL TOTAL in Graz, Austria. In this prestigious competition Tuuletar also received a GOLD Diploma and won the Audience Award of the afternoon showcases.

In May 2015 Tuuletar competed in the International A Cappella Contest Leipzig in Germany and was one of the 10 best groups in the finals.

In 2013 Tuuletar was nominated as a finalist in two highly prestigious vocal group competitions (Aarhus Vocal Festival and Tampere Vocal Music Festival) and was elected as a Showcase performer at Kaustinen Folk Music Festival.

The group released their first EP “Ahavana kulemme” in July 2013. In July 2015 they released a two track single “Kohma” and they are about to release their first full album in the spring 2016. Their music has been noticed on international radio stations, such as YLE (Finland) and BBC 3. Tuuletar released their first official music video “Suven Ahava” in February 2014.
