Aapo Hakkinen

Aapo Häkkinen began his musical education as a chorister at Helsinki Cathedral. He took up the harpsichord at the age of thirteen, studying with Elina Mustonen and Olli Porthan (organ) at the Sibelius Academy in his native city. From 1995 to 1998 he studied at the Amsterdam Sweelinck Conservatory with Bob van Asperen, and from 1996 to 2000 with Pierre Hantaï in Paris. Victorious in various competitions, he has appeared as a soloist and director throughout Europe and in Mexico, in collaboration with distinguished colleagues such as Monica Groop, Ilya Grubert, Tommi Hakala, Erich Höbarth, Sirkka-Liisa Kaakinen, María Cristina Kiehr and Riccardo Minasi. He has conducted Pergolesi’s La serva padrona for the Croatian National Theatre and Haydn’s L’isola disabitata for Finnish Chamber Opera. He has recorded and broadcast widely, and commissioned and given the premières of keyboard and chamber music. Aapo Häkkinen has edited the complete organ works of Giovanni Maria Casini for Edition Escobar. He teaches at the Sibelius Academy and at international master-courses. Since 2003 he has been Artistic Director of the Helsinki Baroque Orchestra.
