Martti Laivouri

Martti Laivuori is a cellist originally from Helsinki, Finland, whose musical career has taken him to concert halls across Europe and the United States. A member of the Illinois Symphony Orchestra and a dedicated chamber musician, he brings to ensemble playing the same curiosity that drives his work as an experienced teacher and active researcher. When he is not playing the cello, there is a good chance he is playing the viola da gamba—or losing at chess and pretending otherwise.
