Since 1992 it has been led by Ingrid Kõrvits, the choirmaster and the vocal pedagogue is Jaanika Kuusik.

They have sung in all Estonian Song Celebrations and participated in many projects in cooperation with the Estonian Concert, the Estonian National Symphony Orchestra, Tallinn Chamber Orchestra, the Pitea County (Sweden) youth choir and youth orchestra, Hannover Girls Choir and many well-known Estonian conductors and composers.
