Umbra
Classical Music in the Dark
An immersive sensory concert experience that invites you to hear with more than just your ears.
Designed for the Senses
Umbra is an immersive classical music experience performed entirely in the dark. By eliminating visual distractions, we invite the audience to fully tune into the emotions, textures, and dynamics of live music. The result is a deeply introspective performance where sound becomes personal, raw, and transformative.
The Venue. The Silence. The Light.
Held in acoustically optimized spaces, from intimate concert halls to natural environments like caves, Umbra embraces darkness as its primary design. Minimal lighting guides the audience in, but once the music begins, the space is plunged into complete blackness. In one surprise moment, subtle lighting synchronizes with the music to create a breathtaking shift in perception.
Live Ensemble. Deep Listening.
Performed by a small ensemble and curated with care, the repertoire blends well-known classical works with lesser-known gems from Albinoni to Piazzolla. Musicians may be positioned around the venue, surrounding the audience with a 360° soundscape that heightens the sense of immersion.
