The Arsonic venue in Mons experienced a historic day on Sunday with the arrival of its new Steinway D piano, presented by ten pianists.

A memorable day unfolded at Arsonic on Sunday, marked by the arrival of the Steinway D piano. Ten talented pianists took turns over several hours, each offering a unique interpretation of this exceptional instrument, reflecting their individual universes and sensitivities.
Among the performers were renowned names such as Frank Braley, Jean-Claude Vanden Eynden, André Ristic, Hans Ryckelynck, Stephane Ginsburgh, Nathalie Loriers, Eliane Reyes, Thérèse Malengreau, Cansu Sanlidag, and Elodie Vignon.
To crown this event, Jean-Paul Dessy presented an original creation: a piece specially composed for ten left hands, offering a completely unique and unprecedented musical moment.
This first encounter with the new Steinway D will be unforgettable. The event was made possible thanks to the support of the Cantine de Mars for gourmet breaks and the chocolatier Théobroma's for special attentions, as well as the dedication of the mobilized teams.
