Veikko Valanne
Veikko Valanne (b. 2000) is a young aspiring composer from Tampere, Finland, who draws inspiration not only from his inner world but also from the Finnish nature. Valanne describes his style as highly tonal and late-Romantic. Despite his young age, Valanne is an experienced composer. His works have been performed by, among others, the Helsinki Philharmonic Orchestra, Kymi Sinfonietta, TAMK Symphony, and numerous musicians across Finland.
