She is an awarded live performer and an experienced music teacher.

Mianoora is an enthousiastic chamber musician and she performs in a part of variety of different groups. She is a founding member of the Women In Chamber Music Collective, and a part of the Kosonen-Ranieri Duo. A busy live performer, she frequently plays around Scotland as a freelance pianist.

As a pianist Mianoora most enjoys a good collaboration with another musician, telling a story together on stage that the audience can feel connected to. Mianoora is also passionate about performing Finnish and Scottish classical repertoire in her performance, and highlighting some lesser known works from both countries. Her performing career has been previously supported by Help Musicians, Keep it Fringe Fund, and the Finnish Sivistysrahasto foundation. 

 Mianoora’s compositions often are inspired by nature found in her two home countries, Finland & Scotland. She is fascinated by picturing natural phenomena and things that make us connected to specific places through the sound of the piano. Mianoora’s style sits somewhere between classical impressionistic and film music with influences from traditional music. Her latest composition Kotini Nyt - Home Now is an impressionistic fusion of Finnish and Scottish themes inspired by her memories of Finland’s countryside and finding a new home in Scotland. This work premiered in Finland in a 2025 performance in collaboration with a local Mantsala Music School in Southern Finland.
