Minna Leinonen
"Minna Leinonen’s works are often inspired by everyday, extra-musical phenomena such as Finnish environment and folklore or daily objects and sounds. She has also been involved in projects in which the music communicates with other artistic genres such as acrobatics, documentary, video or installation." - minnaleinonen.com
"Leinonen has composed piercingly glowing, sometimes painfully beautiful, sometimes cruel ironic music. The arc of drama Leinonen has built with strong touch." -Hannu-Ilari Lampila, Helsingin sanomat 18.2.2021
