Artist EINS performs on Disklavier and other devices in Trier's Porta Nigra Plaza

In October 2020, German keyboard artist Tobias Schmitz (also known as EINS) performed a uniquely modern, socially distant musical happening centered around the connectivity of the Disklavier. The location, Trier's Porta Nigra, is the largest remaining Roman structure (built circa 170 AD) north of the Alps. Click the image to hear the performance on YouTube!
