Asta Onnila started her piano studies in 1989 at the Lappeenranta Music School. She has completed professional studies at the Helsinki Polytechnic Stadia (currently Helsinki Metropolia University of Applied Sciences), where she graduated as a Piano Teacher in 2005, and then in the Performing Arts Program in Music (Piano) of the Sibelius Academy, graduating in 2011 with a Master’s Degree in Music with excellent grades.
Lied music has been close to Onnila’s heart right from the start of her artistic journey. Both Ilmo Ranta and Heikki Pellinen have influenced and guided her path as a lied pianist. Onnila has also achieved competition success in lied music by winning the National Series of the Pentti Koskimies Lied Competition in 2003 with soprano Ilona Jokinen. In November 2004, the pair won second prize in the Lied Series of the Erkki Melartin Chamber Music Competition.
From 2008 to 2017, Onnila worked at the Savonlinna Opera Festival as the pianist of soloist guests at the Opera Day Openings. Today, she works at the Lahti Music School as a piano teacher and accompanist. She has collaborated and given concerts with various classical singers.
