Sabrina Ljungberg (b. 1989), Master of Music, is a Finnish choir conductor, singer, and choral composer known for her music often described as engaging and powerfully unique.

In 2015, Ljungberg founded vocal collective Sabrina ja Saarten tyttäret to perform music she had written to traditional Finnish poems, such as those from Kanteletar. In 2022, Ljungberg founded vocal group LEINA consisting of seven professional singers. The group performs new music by Ljungberg, combining vocals with Eino Leino’s poems and electronic soundscapes.

Ljungberg’s music has been performed by many well-known Finnish choirs such as Aalto University’s Mixed Choir Dominante and The Academic Male Voice Choir of Helsinki. Her music has been recorded by choirs such as Teekkarikuoro, Vaskivuori Upper Secondary School Girls’ Choir, and Sabrina ja Saarten tyttäret. She has written commissioned choral works for Women’s Choir Kupliva, Järvenpää Women’s Choir Ainottaret, and Lahti Women’s Choir Filianna, whose artistic director she has been since 2015. Ljungberg’s choral works have been published by Sulasol.

In addition to composition, Ljungberg works passionately at developing Finnish choral music. Collective choral song writing projects and dramatic musical performances by Sabrina ja Saarten tyttäret are examples of this work. Ljungberg is a board member and Chair of the Equality Committee of The Finnish Choral Conductors’ Association.
