After great success in Europe and the United States, the “Blind Symphony” project is now coming to Basel for the first time. In this extraordinary concert format, visual perception is completely eliminated. Before the performance begins, each guest receives a special opaque eye mask, while the hall is plunged into total darkness.
As soon as sight is lost, all attention naturally focuses on sound. The finest musical nuances, delicate vibrations, and inner rhythms become more intense and clearly perceptible. Even familiar works reveal a new, deeper, and more powerful dimension under these extraordinary conditions.
The music is performed by a chamber ensemble and enriched by rare instruments from smaller cultural regions around the world. During the concert, you will experience more than 70 different sounds and timbres—many of them possibly for the first time. The program includes works by Johann Sebastian Bach, Arvo Pärt, Philip Glass, Max Richter, and Ludovico Einaudi. “Blind Symphony” is far more than a concert. It is an invitation to experience music in all its depths, free from visual distractions. When the light disappears, the music becomes the only reality.
Tickets are CHF 47-78, which includes a mask.
