Piano Special

One of the most spectacular Piano Festivals around is starting tomorrow: The Klavier-Festival Ruhr. As we reported previously, this event is made special by its combination of brilliant stars (Brendel, Argerich, Lang Lang, Leonskaya and many more) and unusual locations - apart from regular concert halls, collieries, water works and other active and defunct reminders of the region's technological face are used for concerts. Mouvement Nouveau will present a special by conducting interviews with some of the most outstanding featured artists and by regular updates and news items. Stay tuned to be informed!

The excellent work of the organising committee has already been rewarded, by the way: Out of a total of 70 concerts, 15 are already sold out! It is another blow in the face for all cynics claiming classical music was neither suited for these modern times nor interesting to the public.
