Bio

I am from Heinola.

I joined the orchestra in 1996 and have been a principal since 2003.

My most important mentor was Timo Ronkainen.

I like to perform Sibelius and great romantic pieces.

My favourite place in Helsinki is the Kivinokka Café.

 

ENJOY A CONCERT IN THE COMFORT OF YOUR VERY OWN ARMCHAIR 

You can now watch and listen to HPO concerts in the comfort of your very own armchair, streamed online.
The pre-concert talk (in Finnish) will help to put you in the mood. During the interval you can also meet more interesting people and hear what goes on behind the scenes.
