DOT Concert: Andrei Irimia - European tour

“A night where sound and emotion meet in their purest form.”

Returning to Groningen after his appearance at Eurosonic Festival, Andrei Irimia presents an intimate solo piano concert opening his new European tour. This journey will continue through some of Europe’s most prestigious venues, including Barcelona’s Palau de la Música Catalana and the iconic Berlin Philharmonic.

In this solo performance, Andrei Irimia invites the audience into the core of his unmistakable neoclassical universe. His music moves delicately between silence and intensity, unfolding with minimalist precision, emotional depth, and a quiet cinematic quality. Each note becomes a personal confession, one that is fragile, sincere, and profoundly human.

At the piano, Andrei Irimia creates a space for contemplation and inner stillness. More than a concert, this is a shared moment of introspection, an immersive journey that lingers long after the final note fades into silence.

Tickets: 22,00 ex service fee
Doors open: 19:30

DOT Live Planetarium: Life beyond Earth (ENG)

Every star tells a captivating life story, beginning in breathtaking stellar nurseries where clouds of gas and dust collapse to create newborn stars and planetary systems. Imagine journeying to our own Sun, exploring the depths beneath its surface, and uncovering the secrets of nuclear fusion; the delicate balance that keeps our star shining brightly.

Experience the magnetic activity, dynamic sunspots, and powerful flares that shape the solar cycle. But remember, no star’s light lasts forever. Witness the awe-inspiring transformation of Sun-like stars as they expand into magnificent red giants, leaving behind stunning planetary nebulae and white dwarfs. Discover the fate of more massive stars, which race toward their spectacular supernova deaths. From these dramatic endings arise some of the most extreme objects in the Universe: neutron stars, pulsars, magnetars, and black holes.

As we traverse this cosmic journey, we’ll uncover how dying stars scatter newly formed elements throughout space, seeding the very building blocks for new stars, planets, and, ultimately, life itself. Join us as we delve into this incredible cosmic narrative, revealing the interconnectedness of the universe and our place within it.
