The concept of the performance is to remove all other stimuli so that the audience are 100% focused on the music only with the hope that a higher state of concentration and appreciate for the music will be achieved.

Taking place in the former GDR broadcasting complex in Karlshorst, Berlin, Into the Dark is a performance by 10 musicians under the directorship of Sabrina Hölzer. Works being played include pieces by Kevin Volans, John Cage and Salvatore Sciarrino...the difference in this case is that the concert takes place in complete darkness with the 50-odd audience lying on specially made beds while the musicians move around the room.
