Runner-up at the 2019 Best Event Awards — Best Italian Music Event. Yamaha Music Europe, Silentsystem and Pianolink, with Maestro Andrea Vizzini, brought the silent concert to some of the most beautiful venues in Europe.
The project
Some achievements are born of sacrifice and creative thinking. Being associated with Yamaha Music Europe, a renowned global brand, and growing alongside Pianolink, which spreads art and culture with a truly forward-thinking vision, is a rare satisfaction.
The Yamaha Silent WiFi Concert is a synesthetic burst of shared values: young, always on the road, with big ambitions. Yamaha Music’s technological research and its Silentpiano sparked a revolution in the world of black and white keys. Silentsystem wireless audio systems — multi-channel silent headphones, RF transmitters and logistics expertise — made it possible for the magic to happen anywhere, under any conditions.
The talent and skill of Maestro Andrea Vizzini lit the fuse and enchanted thousands of people across Europe: an audience that, in many cases, was enjoying a silent experience for the first time, listening to piano music surrounded by architectural beauty and works of art.
A great experience made of music, innovation, kilometers on the road, silent headphones, pianos, phone calls, ideas, setbacks and flashes of inspiration: everything you’d expect when you set out to be a pioneer.
