About ACO Up Close: Timo-Veikko ‘Tipi’ Valve
An intimate recital with ACO Principal Cello Timo-Veikko 'Tipi' Valve
Joined by pianist Aura Go, Tipi will perform a program of music from celebrated classics to exciting new discoveries, all to be unpacked in conversation with well-known presenter Zan Rowe.
ACO Up Close will bring you closer than ever before to the ACO musicians you know and love. Join us as we delve into Tipi’s ACO story, and reveal the music he loves and his life outside the ACO.
Highlights of this intimate concert include Beethoven’s spectacular Sonata No.5 in D major and Bach’s own Sonata in D major.
“In this program we thought it would be illuminating to place a sonata by JS Bach directly in conversation with the final Beethoven sonata, where he clearly looks back to the music of JS Bach: an epic fugue forms the final movement, bringing his sonata cycle to an ecstatic and decisive conclusion.” – Tipi Valve

Timo-Veikko Valve
During these last few years, while we haven’t been able to travel as much, music has been the thing, the vehicle, that transported me, allowing me to visit my home country of Finland. Well, at least in my imagination it did.
When devising this program together with Aura, we immediately thought of Finland. We wanted to convey the essence of its vast, sometimes cold, landscape. Aura spent several years studying and living in Helsinki, my hometown, so I believe we share an understanding of the peculiar Finnish psyche and a love for its distant and unique character.
We are thrilled to introduce you to the music of Helvi Leiviskä, a pioneer of composition in Finland. I think it is safe to say that her evocative and original music had not reached Australia before these concerts.
I’ve had the privilege to work extensively with Aura in the recent past, and straight after these recitals, we will embark on a mammoth project together, recording the complete Beethoven Sonatas for ABC Classic.
In this program we thought it would be illuminating to place a sonata by JS Bach directly in conversation with the final Beethoven sonata, where he clearly looks back to the music of JS Bach: an epic fugue forms the final movement, bringing his sonata cycle to an ecstatic and decisive conclusion.
