About metallifonia
Olli-Pekka Tuomisalo and Risto-Matti Marin have been performing together since 1998. In 2007, they began to explore the favourite music of their youth, heavy rock, and combined it with classical contemporary music to create a wholly new genre: heavy chamber music.
In 2007–2009, performing under the name Metallifonia, they gave a huge number of sold-out concerts in Finland and the USA, appealing to both classical and heavy rock fans. After this active touring phase, they have occasionally revisited their Metallifonia repertoire, for instance when opening for Apocalyptica at the sold-out Huvila tent at the Helsinki Festival in 2012.
Part of this hysterically funny and virtuosic programme is now featured at the Tampere Biennale.
