Mitsubishi Electric Hydronics & IT Cooling Systems is proud of sponsoring Festival Cristofori which is a musical event in Padua, Italy dedicated to Bartolomeo Cristofori.

As part of our sponsorship of the Piano Festival B. Cristofori, they were delighted to include a special event in Bassano del Grappa within the CristOFF programme. This event showcased the celebrated Japanese pianist Chisato Taniguchi, born in 1998, renowned internationally for her unique fusion of classical and contemporary music. Remarkably, she had performed at the Venice Biennale just a day earlier.
On Friday, 4th October, at 8:45 PM, they had the honour of presenting her concert, Nocturnal Chants, in the atmospheric setting of San Bonaventura Church.

They offered this remarkable musical evening as a gift not only to our employees but also to the entire community of Bassano del Grappa, where our headquarters is based. It was a celebration of art, culture, and our deep connection to the city, showcasing a world-class performance in a historic venue.

Ludwig van Beethoven: Sonata No. 32 in C minor op. 111

1. Maestoso: Allegro con brio ed appassionato
2. Arietta: Adagio molto semplice e cantabile
