It is a great initiative by Marc Castellain, since Bruxelles, as far as I know, dont have any festivals of this kind, and since Bruxelles is an international capital, like the capital of europe with the main sites of the EU situated there such kind of activitees are needed. – As the life in Bruxelles also need relacations, not only office work, cafees, restaurant, opera, ballet, symphonic concerts and shopping
. A Piano festival presenting such outstanding international pianists, and their very variated repertoire from all kind of the piano world, which is large, will give Bruxelles as a place with great events going on a lift for the coming long periode.
