VILLA KOKKONEN
The home of composer Joonas Kokkonen, one of the few private buildings designed by Alvar Aalto, a must-see
The residence of the composer Joonas Kokkonen (1921-1996), it is one of the few private buildings designed by Alvar Aalto. It is sometimes compared to "a well-tuned music box". A visit by the current enthusiasts and residents, pianist Elina Viitaila and opera singer Antti A. Pesonen, who will be delighted to finish the visit with a small private concert to demonstrate the perfect acoustics of the place. Joonas Kokkonen was influenced by Sibelius and then by Bartok. His works are varied: from symphonic music to opera music.
