Sensory concert in the heart of Madrid: when sight fades and sound takes over
To mark World Music Day, the restaurant Dans Le Noir ? Madrid is offering a truly original event: a piano concert performed in total darkness by the gifted blind pianist Iulian Ionut Abagiu. This special event takes place on Saturday, 21 June at Dans Le Noir ? Cena a oscuras, Plaza del Biombo, 5, Madrid.
An unforgettable immersive experience
Led by blind waiters, guests will be guided into a pitch-black room where vision disappears and hearing becomes the star. This sensory blackout offers a unique way to experience music – deeply, fully, and without distraction.
It’s an invitation to disconnect from the visual and reconnect with what matters: music, emotion, and human connection.
Iulian Ionut Abagiu: our Stevie Wonder
Born blind in Romania, Iulian Ionut Abagiu began playing piano at the age of 4 and moved to Spain at 10 to continue his music studies. In 2021, he won first prize at the Joaquín Rodrigo International Classical Music Competition.
His performances are rich with emotion and include spoken introductions to help audiences better understand and feel each piece.
Today, he also teaches music – in case the lights go out again.
Come experience his art in a truly immersive setting at Dans Le Noir ? Madrid.
