Experience Live Music In The Pitch Dark...

The audience is empowered to participate in an active music listening experience, in the complete and total pitch dark! You will remember what it was like to listen to music without the distraction of your visual conditioning, social etiquette and cells phones.

“It dawned on me that I most likely hadn’t listened to music in the dark like this since I was a young teenager. It was so liberating to allow my mind and ears to focus on instrumentation with no visual input. ”
