Kimmo Hakola

Kimmo Hakola has gone through a number of styles and influences in his career as a composer, his idiom expanding at times to embrace Romanticism, Orientalism and klezmer. He has attained international recognition with an output that spans various genres from intimate solo pieces to large-scale works such as operas.

Many of his works are expansive and epic: his Piano Concerto (1996), for instance, clocks in at 55 minutes. His oratorio Le Sacrifice won the Finnish Teosto prize in 2003.
