Make yourself comfortable and enjoy a unique concert experience in the beautiful architecture of the Glyptotek. With French piano works, one of Denmark’s leading pianists, Tanja Zapolski, offers a backdrop for the newly opened museum presentations of the works of Edgar Degas and Paul Gauguin. Get yourself ready to let peace and presence fill both body and mind.
As an audience member, we invite you to lie down or sit comfortably on yoga mats, surrounded by dim lighting. The music program presents French composers as Debussy, Ravel, Satie, Fauré and Chopin. Lying in beautiful surroundings, you can immerse yourself in music from the era of Impressionism and experience it in a new and sensory way.
This special concert format is created for those seeking reflection and inner peace in historical surroundings. Did you know that the Glyptotek’s Great Hall has hosted classical concerts since 1922?
