Malla Vivolin is a flutist, pedagogue and occasional columnist based in Tampere. She is the co-principal flute of Tampere Philharmonic Orchestra, the flutist of the Grammy Award-winning Uusinta Ensemble, and a faculty member at the Tampere Universities School of Applied Science’s Music Department teaching flute majors and coaching the orchestral academy. Her articles have been published in magazines such as Musiikki and Muusikko magazine, as well as by the Finnish Flute Association (Suomen Huiluseura).
