Einaudi's Underwater

Stellae Suite – Einaudi’s Underwater at the ARTIS Aquarium

A concert grand piano in the middle of the monumental Aquarium Hall, with the blue light of the aquariums on either side. On Friday 27 November, Ludovico Einaudi’s Underwater will be heard at a special location in Amsterdam: the recently fully restored ARTIS Aquarium.

Pianist Bernd van den Bos performs Underwater in full: the tranquil solo album that Einaudi composed during the lockdown period. The music is performed entirely acoustically and without amplification. No projections or large-scale set; the Aquarium itself provides the setting for the music.

The audience sits on either side of the concert grand piano, close to the pianist and surrounded by underwater life. The combination of the historic architecture, the light from the aquariums and Einaudi’s understated piano music makes this a special edition of the Stellae Suite.

The Stellae Suite is Theaterkantoor’s new concert series in which music and special locations come together in an intimate setting.

Only two concerts will take place this evening. Each concert lasts approximately 60 minutes and has no interval.
