Veli Kujala
Veli Kujala is well-known both as an innovative composer and as an extremely versatile accordionist, with an international career reaching the Metropolitan Opera. His first love was jazz, and he describes himself as a curious person always searching for new means of expression, for example being involved in the development of the quarter-tone accordion.
As a composer, he is inspired by collaborating with performers, the majority of his output being written for other musicians and instruments.
