2 In addition to the healthy performance schedules many of Nono's works now enjoy, there has also been, for example, a festival devoted to Nono's music at London's Southbank Centre (‘Luigi Nono: Fragments of Venice’, 2007–08), as well as a fascinating and perhaps more unexpected reincarnation in performance art.
