    We are delighted to welcome Lilli Maijala to the ZHdK viola team from the autumn semester 2023.
    Lilli Maijala is one of the most internationally sought-after Scandinavian violists of the present day. Since her debut as a seventeen-year-old with the Oulu Symphony Orchestra, she has frequently appeared as a soloist with renowned orchestras. Her concert recordings for Alba Records have been praised by "The Strad" and "BBC Music Magazine". As a sought-after chamber musician, she is invited to festivals worldwide.
    After playing for several years in the experimental "quartet-lab" with Patricia Kopatchinskaja, Pekka Kuusisto and Pieter Wispelwey, Lilli Maijala is now a member of the newly founded "Valo Quartet".
    She has been teaching at the Sibelius Academy Helsinki since 2009, since 2011 as professor and head of the viola faculty.
