Aapo Häkkinen is Artist of the Year

Helsinki Baroque Orchestra’s Artistic Director Aapo Häkkinen has been named Artist of the Year by the city of Helsinki. The prize is awarded annually for artistic merit. This year’s prize specifically recognises the modern premiere of Leopold Koželuch’s opera Gustav Vasa; also a nod to the fact that Helsinki was founded by the historical Gustav Vasa (King Gustav I of Sweden).
