Tapio Tuomela

Tapio Tuomela began his career in a Neo-Classical style but then shifted towards Modernism, with timbre being an important parameter. He is known as a musician-friendly composer. “For the message to be conveyed from the score to the ear of the listener, the musician must understand the work and be motivated by it,” he says.

He has written several operas and large-scale orchestral works, and since the 1990s often found inspiration in folk music, the Kalevala or Lapland's nature and culture.
