Nome Quartet

Elina Päkkilä, violin Oskari Eirola, violin Elina Heikkinen, viola Liina-Mari Raivola, cello The Nome Quartet is an ambitious and creative chamber music project run by four friends. The group formed on a chamber music course in Kuhmo in 2014. They immediately attracted attention as a promising ensemble and were selected to receive a scholarship for the Savonlinna Music Academy. In recent years they have performed all round Finland and concentrated on developing their sound. During the previous season the quartet performed at the Kino soi! Concert event in Espoo, the Kumpula Chamber Concerts in Helsinki, the Soiton paikka Festival in Keuruu, and the Kuhmo Winter concerts in Kajaani and Kuhmo itself. The Nome Quartet has given concerts with Tuija Hakkila, Miguel da Silva, Atte Kilpeläinen, Petja Kainulainen and Lauri Kankkunen. All its members are alumni of the Sibelius Academy. Their advisers have included Marko Ylönen, Paavo Pohjola, Antti Tikkanen and Miguel da Silva. At present the ensemble is a member of the Kuhmo Chamber Music’s Quartet Academy.
