About
Layered Voices is a choir performance held in Copenhagen, Denmark, in which singers move through the Spiral Ramp of the Round Tower and around the tower itself. It is a concert that takes its shape from the building, so the music and the architecture are experienced together rather than from a fixed seat.
What the visit is like
Rather than sitting in rows facing a stage, visitors can walk freely among the singers as the choir passes through the ramp. Because the voices travel through the spiral, the sound seems to change from one spot to the next. Standing near the bottom, higher up the ramp, or on the outside of the tower can each bring a different listening experience, so many people find it worth moving around during the performance.
Practical points
- The performance takes place in the Spiral Ramp, the venue for the event.
- It is included in standard admission, so no separate ticket is needed for the concert itself.
- Visitors are free to wander among the singers during the performance.
Around the visit
The Round Tower is one of the notable buildings in central Copenhagen, and a concert set within its ramp is a good reason to spend time in that part of the city. The event suits anyone curious about how a space can shape the way music is heard, whether or not they are regular concertgoers.
