Tuula Saari

Viola

I began playing the violin at the Espoo Music Institute at the age of eight. It was at the suggestion of my teacher, Paavo Pohjola, that I took up the viola. I went on to study with Veikko Kosonen, Jouko Mansnerus and Matti Hirvikangas at the Sibelius Academy and graduated with a M.Mus. degree. I have also studied privately with Daniel Benyamin in Finland and in Tel Aviv. I have been with the Tapiola Sinfonietta since it was established.
