Immersive Soiré 3 is a concert in Copenhagen, presenting a new immersive piece by the composer Mike Sheridan, created together with sound engineer Jonas Munch-Hansen. It is an event for listeners who want to hear how a work is built as well as how it sounds.
What the evening involves
The session opens with an introduction to the ideas and methods behind the piece. This gives visitors a sense of the thinking that shaped the work before the performance begins, which can make the listening experience more focused.
- An introduction to the ideas and methods behind the new work
- A performance of the immersive piece in the New Hall
The venue
The performance takes place in the New Hall of the Royal Danish Academy of Music (DKDM) in Frederiksberg, a district of Copenhagen. The academy is the setting for a concert of this kind, so visitors come to a working music institution rather than a commercial concert house.
Is it worth the trip?
This event suits visitors who are interested in contemporary composition and sound design, and who enjoy music that asks to be heard in a more immersive way. Because the evening combines a talk about the work with the piece itself, it can also suit anyone curious about how new music is made. Full details of the session and how to attend are on the academy's event page, linked from the listing.
