Under the large glass roof of The Maritime Museum, visitors lie on their own mats and pillows while live music resounds. Hundreds of lights create a dancing starry sky above the audience area, forming a dynamic play of light within the maritime museum. The glossy surfaces reflect the pianist and enhance the acoustics, making every detail of the performance come across powerfully.
The concert program includes works by composers such as Ludovico Einaudi, Simeon ten Holt and Philip Glass, presenting a mix of classical and contemporary music. The venue, overlooking the great VOC ship, adds a unique historical dimension to the musical event. There is also a dinner package that allows advance dining in the museum restaurant overlooking the ship.
The initiative is open to all ages 8 and up and suitable for wheelchair users. Visitors should provide their own mat, pillow and possibly a blanket to lie comfortably during the concert. The concept combines music, light and heritage to create a special experience within a unique monument.
The combination of lights and music under the glass roof forms a remarkable interplay that reaches visibly and audibly throughout the museum.
This Lying Concert offers an original way to experience classical and modern music embedded in a historic maritime setting. The event stands out for its combination of tranquility, visual elements and heritage, which make for a memorable evening for music lovers.
