The second quantum revolution as a musical spectacle: Lasers, mirrors, non-linear crystals—an experimental setup from the hi-tech laboratory in the middle of Linz’s new cathedral. Entangled photons—the quanta of light—become conductors and direct Bruckner’s Perger Präludium in a way that no human could.
The cathedral organists play live on the two resounding church organs and fill the Mariendom’s spectacular acoustic space. BruQner shows us a new view of our reality—a world premiere!
