ANTTI PAALANEN ON OCTOBER 14 AND 15 AT THE DOBERMANNSCHEUNE IN ALTENBERGE AND AT NORDKIRCHEN CASTLE
An adventure on the accordion
Masterful accordion playing, electronic beats and throaty vocals: Finnish musician Antti Paalanen offers this unique blend. He can be heard twice at the Münsterland Festival: He comes to Nordkirchen Castle with a program that is somewhere between Finnish folklore and classical music, and in the Dobermannscheune in Altenberge he can be experienced in all his musical exuberance.
The accordion in Paalanen's hands is a living, breathing dance machine. His music is wild, folk music combined with numerous other musical styles. The metal lover adds techno beats and Siberian throat singing to the melodic sounds of the accordion, creating a show that is second to none. As a one-man band, the character head simultaneously provides bass, melody, vocals and rhythm.
In cooperation with the Dobermannscheune, the municipality of Altenberge, the cultural department of the district of Coesfeld and the tourist information office in Nordkirchen.

THE VENUES: DOBERMANNSCHEUNE ALTENBERGE AND NORDKIRCHEN CASTLE
The spacious entrance hall of the Dobermann barn in Altenberge, which has been converted into a home, becomes a concert backdrop. Modern art once hung here: the Münsterland entrepreneur Dobermann had three old (presumably) Lower Saxon barns moved to Altenberge for his extensive collection. Lined up next to each other, they form an impressive exhibition space. For the Münsterland Festival, the music-loving current owners are opening the entrance to their home exclusively.
Nordkirchen Palace, also known as the "Westphalian Versailles", is the most important baroque palace complex in Westphalia. Today's palace, built according to plans by the Münster court architect Gottfried Laurenz Pictorius and completed by Johann Conrad Schlaun in 1734 with a magnificent park, is now owned by the state of North Rhine-Westphalia. For many years, the well-established palace concert series in the Oranienburg has offered a top-class musical mix.
