Kaustisen Hääkuoro (the "Wedding Choir of Kaustinen") is a Finnish mixed-voice choir from Central Ostrobothnia, based in Kaustinen — the home town of Finnish folk tradition, internationally known for its annual Folk Music Festival.
The choir's core repertoire is built around folk songs from the Kaustinen region, complemented by sacred works and pieces by local composers such as Asko Hanhikoski and Aaro Kentala, bridging traditional classics with contemporary writing. The ensemble performs flexibly — as a full choir, in small singing groups, or a cappella.
A regular participant in the summer Kaustinen Folk Music Festival, the choir performs at churches across Finland and collaborates with local folk musicians. Their CD "Kansanlaulun Taikaa" (The Magic of Folk Song) was released in 2017.
Artistic director and conductor: Marita Kaakinen.
