Concerts in the Dark - a new dimension of art only for adults.

The concert allows us to disconnect from the hustle and bustle of the outside world and hear our own presence of Self. It restores our peace and detaches us from everyday life. It allows us to fully immerse ourselves in music here and now and to pause time for a moment!

Become the director of an inner spectacle developing only in your imagination!

A concert in the dark is:

- a journey into the depths of oneself

- a pause in time, being here and now

- relaxation and the opportunity to look at what is important from a different perspective

You will have the chance to listen to well-known pieces in new arrangements, which in complete darkness will take on an even deeper expression. The repertoire includes the most famous jazz standards:

-Alone Together - Arthur Schwartz

- Body and Soul - Johnny Green

- All the things you are - Jerome Kern

- Just Friends - John Klenner

- You don't know what love is - Raye-DePaul

- There will never be another You - Harry Warren

- There is no greater love - Isham Jones
