“Last summer, after a 26-year break, I had the opportunity to return to Riga with a live performance, synthesizing piano and electronics. It was a very special and emotional return for me, because I have a hidden personal connection with the city of Riga,” says Tristano.

The pianist and composer born in Luxembourg returned to Riga in the summer of 2023 to perform with electronic live performance at the annual electronic music event “TheRoom Live”. The performance, after a 26-year hiatus with electronic live performance, became Francesco Tristano’s first performance in Riga since his studies at the Academy of Music in 1997, when Tristano performed as a conservatory student, playing classical music repertoire.
