About
Juha Leinonen (b. 1956) studied with Jouni Kaipainen and Esko Syvinki in Tampere and in masterclasses with Magnus Lindberg and others. He has composed works in most of the Western Classical genres: for solo instruments, chamber music, concertos, chamber and orchestral works and vocal music (solo songs and repertoire for all types of choir); his early output also includes works for the stage. His style ranges from complex, motoric and rhythmically throbbing to serene lyricism, and selectively incorporates influences from as far back as the Baroque. Leinonen’s compositional techniques vary from a precisely structured command of material to a freer, inherently musical, aesthetically unfettered mode of expression.
Music by Leinonen has been performed both in Finland and abroad, at chamber and orchestral concerts, many Finnish festivals, on the radio, and at focus concerts in partnership with the Avanti! Chamber Orchestra and others. He has collaborated with many top Finnish musicians and had works premiered by Otto Virtanen (bassoon), Joonas Ahonen (piano), Sami Junnonen (flute), Sirkka Lamminen (soprano) and Olli Leppäniemi (clarinet).
Leinonen has won prizes in a number of competitions, such as the Uussävel run jointly by the Society of Finnish Composers and the Kuhmo Chamber Music Festival 2002 (Foga), the Uussävel competition of the Society of Finnish Composers and the Lahti Organ Festival 2005 (Lux Aeterna) and the Seinäjoki International Chamber Music Festival 2008 – II International Chamber Music Composition Competition 2009 (Frieze), where it shared the first prize.
