Timo-Veikko Valve
Cello Soloist
“For me the Magnacore Arioso A has unprecedented tonal capabilities! The beauty, richness and quality of the sound together with power, response and precision makes it an exceptional string”
About Tipi
Timo-Veikko ‘Tipi’ Valve grew up in Helsinki, surrounded by a family who were “musical, but not musicians”, and who wanted music lessons to be a part of their children’s lives. Tipi was encouraged to pick up the cello because one of the teachers at the local music school, upon seeing him as a toddler, declared that he “looks like a cellist.” Tipi is still not sure what this actually means.
“This was deeply expressive playing.”
LIMELIGHT MAGAZINE
Valve is recognised as one of the most versatile musicians of his generation performing as a soloist, chamber musician and orchestral leader on both modern and period instruments. In 2006, Valve was appointed Principal Cello of the Australian Chamber Orchestra. Tipi plays a Brothers Amati cello from 1616, kindly on loan from the ACO Instrument Fund.
“His tone was so stunningly beautiful that a single note emitting from his instrument communicated more than others can express in a lifetime.”
