In the Nikolai Ostrovsky Museum, subordinate to the capital Department of Culture, there will be a series of musical evenings in an unusual format called ‘concert in the dark.’ It is a synthesis of a live performance and an immersive experience in a specially equipped space. The darkness allows the listener to disconnect from the outside world, hear their true self, and focus on the music and their own perception.
Thus, on September 3 at 8:00 PM, the concert “Duduk in the Dark. Life in Moments” will take place. This is a continuation of the iconic program in which the dialogue between generations is revealed through stages of human life. Every spectator will be able to hear echoes of their own experiences: from youth to maturity. Tickets are available at link.
The concert “Armenian Duduk in the Dark” will take place on September 16 and October 29 at 7:00 PM. The program features Armenian folk music performed on national instruments. The melodies will transport listeners to the sacred corners of this country, and complete darkness will help focus on the soundscape and distract from everyday worries. Tickets can be purchased through the service “Mosbilet”.
On September 17 and October 22 at 7:00 PM, there will be a concert “Ethnicity in the Dark.” Augustin Grishin and the band “Breath Length” will present a collection of instruments from around the world: African drums, Australian didgeridoo pipes, Siberian jaw harp, Tibetan singing bowls, and flute. Tickets are available at link.
On September 30 at 7:00 PM, there will be an immersion into the program “Mantras in the Dark.” The evening will be filled with meditative mantras that help to find inner silence and mindfulness.
