Jonne Valtonen

At the age of eight, Jonne Valtonen started studying to play classical piano, but his first compositions were created on the Commodore 64 home computer using notation software. Later, his passion for music lead him to the Tampere Music Academy in Finland. There, he not only completed his studies in classical composition under Hannu Pohjannoro, but he also attended master classes from Jouni Kaipainen, Magnus Lindberg, Michael Nyman, Esa-Pekka Salonen and Jukka Tiensuu.

Jonne Valtonen has been arranging for the Game Concerts and other projects at Merregnon Studios since 2005.
