Concerts in places built for silence
Every Silent Experience is designed around its venue. These are some of the places where the piano has been heard on headphones.
Inside the galleries
The Louvre, Paris. A museum is the perfect example of a place where a normal concert would be out of place: loudspeakers among the artworks are unthinkable. In headphones the audience could move from room to room, stopping in front of a painting while the music continued.
Museum of the Moon. Luke Jerram’s large illuminated moon creates an almost lunar atmosphere around the piano. With the lights low and the sound in the headphones, the installation and the music become one thing.
Under the sky, without a single speaker
Valley of the Temples, Agrigento. Among the Greek temples of Sicily, a stage and a sound system would have broken the spell of the place. The headphones left it intact: only the piano, the stones and the sky.
Punta Helbronner, Mont Blanc. At almost 3,500 metres, on the terrace of the Skyway station, the concert faced the glaciers. Thin air and wind would have swallowed any amplified sound; in the headphones every phrase reached the listener untouched.
The Vegetal Cathedral. A living architecture of trees, where in 2021 the piano played among the green columns for an audience in headphones.
Your venue could be next
Gardens, villas, archaeological sites, museums, rooftops: if a place is too delicate or too special for a sound system, it is probably perfect for a Silent Experience.
