Chamber music in total darkness.
What happens to the music when the world around you disappears?
Blind Symphony is a unique chamber music concert in total darkness – an invitation not only to listen, but to experience the music in an entirely new way. Before the concert, each guest receives an eye mask that shuts out all light. The lighting is turned off, the visible world disappears – and music becomes the only reality. According to several psychological studies, this way of experiencing music has, among other things, a therapeutic effect on the nervous system. In this concert program, in other words, the music is pure medicine – nothing more, nothing less.
When visual impressions disappear, the experience changes. Attention naturally turns to the sound: subtle vibrations, breaths, pauses, tones moving through the room, and the finest nuances in each note become clearer and feel stronger. Well-known works suddenly gain new depth, a particular intimacy, and a stronger emotional charge.
When you can’t see the music being performed, you start to hear it in a new way.
The program features works by Johann Sebastian Bach, Arvo Pärt, Philip Glass, Max Richter, and Ludovico Einaudi, performed live by a chamber ensemble. The classical sounds of strings and piano are enriched by rare instruments from small ethnic groups around the world. During the concert, you will experience over 70 different sounds and tonal colors – many of them perhaps for the very first time.
Blind Symphony strips away everything that usually surrounds a concert: the stage, the musicians’ movements, the visual spectacle. What remains is only the essential – the sound itself. You don’t need to look. Nothing distracts you. For a moment, there is only you and the music. Blind Symphony is more than a concert. It is a listening experience without visual impressions – an opportunity to discover the power music has when the light disappears. Close your eyes. Leave the visible world behind you. Let the sound envelop you.
Make the experience complete – arrive in good time and enjoy before the show!
Let the experience begin even before the “curtain” rises. In our bars and dining areas, you will find everything from tasty snacks and coffee to drinks for all tastes – we have full rights.
For most of our events, there is an opportunity to pre-order food from a selected range. To see what applies to this particular event, see the information below.
If there is no food to order, it is because the pre-order has closed. The order needs to be made no later than 1:00 PM, two working days before the event. After this, pre-ordering is closed. But there is an opportunity to buy a limited selection of food on-site before the event.
Sit back, enjoy the atmosphere, and prepare with something really good in the glass or on the plate. Welcome in – we look forward to taking care of you!
