Baltic Gospel Singers first came together in 1994. By then the aim was to act as a project choir during a joint venture, named jazz service, between the parish of Dragsfjärd and the Baltic Jazz festival. Since then, the event has taken place every summer but besides that Baltic Gospel Singers has given concerts and performances on many other occasions.
Among the highlights of Baltic Gospel Singers have been the recording and release of three CD’s. Also the roadshows to Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Estonia and the Åland island of Finland as well as the trips within Finland have proved to be interesting, rewarding and funny happenings to the choir.

Mr. Peter Södergård, the conductor claims: “When looking back, one cannot but marvel at the number of people that have, one way or another, eagerly participated in the choir’s doings. Today, the active choir members total about 25 singers, but all in all there has been close to a hundred singers plus a great deal of musicians involved over the years.

Choral music is not for free. We have had sponsors therein and we wish to thank the Kimito municipalities and especially the Civics’ Institutes of Kimito for their continuous support. Also the parishes of Kimito islands, as well as the foundations of Konstsamfundet and Svenska Kulturfonden have helped continuing the activities of Baltic Gospel Singers.”
