This year, St. Mary’s Cathedral and the adjacent Domplatz, the Cathedral Square, will once again become the vibrant epicenter of the Ars Electronica Festival’s Opening. Waltzes, toccatas, and partitas—performed by outstanding ensembles like the Bruckner Orchestra Linz, the vocal group Company of Music, and organist Wolfgang Kreuzhuber—will fill Austria’s largest church with movement and sound.
