On 14 March 2013, the Austrian Cultural Forum London, in collaboration with soprano Jane Manning, hosted a party in honor of Ernst Krenek.

Conductor Dimitri Mitropoulos was an unfailing supporter of Ernst Krenek from the beginning of his American exile.

In the late 1920s, Ernst Krenek skyrocketed to fame in Europe after releasing his contemporary opera Jonny spielt auf. He composed over 25 dramatic works, many of which have yet to be discovered.

Even until late in his life, Ernst Krenek maintained his curiosity towards new media.
