Anna-Leena Haikola

I was born and raised in Liminka and went to school in Oulu.

I guess I joined the orchestra in 2003, when Ilkka Lehtonen (I Violin) convinced me to come as a replacement. I then earned my current position after auditioning sometime around 2004.

I like to play any good music. I am extremely omnivorous when it comes to music. I like everything from heavy metal to modern classical.

My favourite place in Helsinki is my home, of course, but also I like our wonderful market halls and views to the sea.
