Help us reach our goal to make this performance possible
A groundbreaking interpretation of Erik Satie's legendary composition
Erik Satie's "Vexations" (1893) is one of the most provocative pieces in classical music history. This brief, melancholic motif is meant to be repeated 840 times, creating a hypnotic performance that challenges our concepts of time, endurance, and musical experience.
Our ambitious project brings together ten accomplished pianists for a continuous 40-hour performance. This isn't just a concert, it's an exploration of human endurance, musical meditation, and the transformative power of repetition.
Ten dedicated pianists committed to this extraordinary musical journey
