Booked out! *** Münsterland Festival part 12: Münster Symphony Orchestra and Iiro Rantala, piano
With music by Iiro Rantala and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart Conductor: Henning Ehlert

Iiro Rantala goes symphonic

Iiro Rantala is one thing above all - a gifted pianist who is just as convincing as an opera composer and jazz improviser as he is as a profound interpreter of well-known pop melodies. At the Münsterland Festival, he performs as a soloist with the Münster Symphony Orchestra in Draiflessen.

The Finn moves playfully between the genres and does what he does best: His own thing. It is this musical horizon that sets Rantala apart. In his jazz, classical, pop or rock easily flow into it, and the Finn makes use of an astonishing technique and exuberant imagination. With his music, the pianist convinces even those who previously thought they didn't like jazz. It is not for nothing that the magazine Jazz thing & Blue Rhythm calls him a "natural phenomenon on the keys".

Since its foundation in 1919, the Münster Symphony Orchestra has developed into a mainstay of musical life in Münster. Numerous prizes and awards honour the orchestra's work and national importance. Invitations to give guest performances have already taken the orchestra to Milan, Florence, Modena and Tel Aviv. In addition to classical-romantic repertoire, the performance of contemporary music in collaboration with internationally renowned composers has been part of the orchestra's DNA from the very beginning.
