about
Väinö Hannikainen (1900-1960) was a Finnish harpist, kantele player and composer. He was the brother of composer Ilmari Hannikainen (1892-1955), violinist Arvo Hannikainen (1897-1942), conductor Tauno Hannikainen (1896-1968), and writer Lauri Hannikainen (1889-1921). He studied harp in Helsinki, Berlin, and Paris. For much of his career, he played in the Helsinki City Orchestra, but also performed as a soloist. Among his works was the chamber opera “Aino”, “Chant d’amour” for violin and piano, an intermezzo for kantele (which he originally wrote for harp), and ballet “Onnen Linna”.
