The Living Hologram
Imagine inviting one of the world’s greatest musicians to perform in your own living room. Thanks to cutting-edge technology, this vision has become reality: the legendary pianist Philippe Entremont has become the first living classical artist to create his own hologram, as part of the ICOLOGRAM® project founded by Pierluigi Orunesu.
With over 7,000 concerts and 350 recordings to his name, Entremont spent three days in the renowned La Chaux-de-Fonds concert hall to capture his artistry in stunning 6K visuals and immersive 3D sound — preserving a lifelike, full-scale performance for generations to come.
At 85 years old, Philippe Entremont continues to breathe new life into the classical world. Witness his brilliance in this exclusive video excerpt from the session, including his dazzling take on Mozart’s Rondo Alla Turca.
