What singer Aida Garifullina and digital music have in common

Young soprano Aida Garifullina, who is currently a star performer at the Vienna State Opera and enrapturing opera fans all over the world, studied in Nuremberg. Nuremberg University of Music is not only where Ms Garifullina’s rise to the top of the opera world began, however, but has also recently become a centre for digital innovations that is being supported by the German government. This makes its location extremely appropriate, because Nuremberg was already an importantcity for exhibitions and conferences focusing on digitalization, IT and/or electronics. Blazing a trail in the field of digitalisation, for example, are embedded world, the leading international fair for embedded systems, and it-sa, the world’s leading trade fair for IT security.
