Bernhard Gal - Newsletter II/2010


Dear friends and colleagues,

for various (good) reasons, 2010 has proven to offer
a quite different path than previous years.

...in other words, less concert tours and transcontinental travels,
and more time dedicated to composition, reflection, research,
studio work and documentation.

XXXXX 2010 Highlights XXXXX

Acquisition Award of the Art Collection of Austria
The audiovisual work 'textur #5' was selected for the Artothek des
Bundes, becoming part of Austria's State Art Collection.
