Experience the sound of Michelangelo's works as the exhibition fills with music.
In connection with SMK's major spring exhibition Michelangelo Imperfect, Concerto Copenhagen sheds light on a lesser-known side of Michelangelo: his poems set to music. Michelangelo wrote more than 300 poems - intense, sensitive and deeply human - about the body, the soul and about loving and longing.
In a musical pop-up format on Wednesday, May 7, MON can hear selected poems set to music by composers of Michelangelo's time. The music will be performed by two musicians from Concerto Copenhagen; mezzo-soprano Anna Caroline Olesen accompanied by Fredrik Bock on lute. Together they perform songs with lyrics by Michelangelo - and let his words and emotions resonate with the marble sculptures. Through music and poetry, we can experience Michelangelo and his works anew - in a resonant self-portrait.
The pop-up concert consists of three short performances taking place at different locations in the exhibition 'Michelangelo Imperfect'between 17:00 and 20:00. The concert is free with paid admission to the museum.
