Ida Olsonen (SF)
Conductor, composer, arranger, voice teacher and performer.
Sustainable development, her hometown Helsinki with its urban nature and every-day life in general inspires her. At the moment, she is the artistic leader for two choirs; female choir ZinZingen and mixed choir Musta lammas. Musta lammas won the choir competition Aarhus Vocal Festival 2017 (DK), as well as the special prize for the most innovative arrangement. In a short time, Musta lammas has got a lot of attention, headlining festivals both abroad and nationally. Apart from her own groups, she also does a lot of workshops, coachings and writing music on commission. Her musical roots are in vocal groups and everything that comes with that. Ida Olsonen holds two master degrees, a master in music education from the Sibelius Academy (FIN) and a master in vocal leadership and rhythmic choral conducting from the Royal Academy of Aarhus/Aalborg (DK). Both were completed in 2019.
