About

Tuija Häkkilä (born 1959 in Hämeenlinna) is a Finnish classical pianist and Professor of Piano Music at the Sibelius Academy, where she has taught since 1987. She plays both modern piano and historical fortepiano, and her repertoire spans Bach to the latest contemporary works - a rare breadth she has built through studies in Helsinki, Paris and New York. Her discography covers Mozart's complete keyboard sonatas, Sibelius piano works, and a world-premiere recording of the early 19th-century Finnish Lithander brothers' music, among others.
