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 at the Sibelius Academy. He studied with Bob van Asperen at the Amsterdam Sweelinck Conservatory and with Pierre Hantaï in Paris, and was also fortunate to enjoy the generous guidance and encouragement of Gustav Leonhardt. In 1998 he won second prize at the Bruges Harpsichord Competition. He was also awarded the NDR special prize for his interpretations of Italian music. Häkkinen has appeared as soloist and conductor in most European countries, in Israel, in the United States and in Mexico. He has recorded for the labels Aeolus, Alba, Avie, Cantus, Deux-Elles and Naxos. Besides the harpsichord, he regularly performs on the organ and on the clavichord. He is artistic director of the Helsinki Baroque Orchestra.
