Founded in 1997, the Helsinki Baroque Orchestra is a fresh and youthful ensemble offering audiences a chance to enjoy early music performed with enthusiasm and originality. The use of period instruments is a part of the orchestra’s attempt to discover new perspectives on the performance of old masterworks in a way that communicates with the audience.
Aapo Häkkinen became Artistic Director of the Helsinki Baroque Orchestra in 2003. Recent engagements have included appearances at the London Wigmore Hall, and at the Brezice, Bruges, Dresden, Helsinki, Stockholm, Varna, and Zagreb festivals. The Helsinki Baroque Orchestra regularly works with international soloists such as Enrico Baiano, Patrick Gallois, Monica Groop, Erich Höbarth, Sirkka-Liisa Kaakinen, María Cristina Kiehr, Anu Komsi, Manfredo Kraemer, Topi Lehtipuu, Riccardo Minasi, Enrico Onofri, Susanne Rydén, and Skip Sempé.
