The fifth Oulu Music Festival was organized in April 1995, lead by Ismo Sirén as an artistic director and Seppo Kimanen as an adviser. One of the international star performers of the festival was French pianist Philippe Cassard. In his solo concert Cassard played waltzes by composers Auguste Durand, Erik Satie and Maurice Ravel, as well as preludes by Olivier Messiaen.
