What a beautiful memory! Festival's Monday evening saw an Austrian premiere of the first piano sonata by Philip Glass, which he dedicated to Maki Namekawa. The piano sonata is a joint commission of Piano-Festival Ruhr, Philharmonie de Paris and Ars Electronica. Its world premiere performance took place in July 2019 at the Piano-Festival Ruhr and both the composer as well as Maki Namekawa received enthusiastic appreciation.⁠ Credit: tom mesic⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ #arselectronica #arselectronica19 #arselectronicafestival #upperaustria #mediaart #visitaustria #uppermoments #visitlinz #linz
