A beacon of light – Concert with Di Garbi
A beacon of light – Concert with Di Garbi
The Round Tower is transformed into a beacon of light, prayer and compassion, as we join Danish composer and pianist Di Garbi on a pilgrimage through the tower and gather for a concert in the final hours of the sun.
The audience is invited to a special evening where music and song will spread universal love – for each other and for the planet. The empty Library Hall in the Round Tower will set the scene for the concert, where Di Garbi, with her classical roots and poetic musical language, will perform beautiful compositions on the grand piano placed at the center of the space.
Di Garbi has a special focus on historical spaces from a time when architecture imposed different demands on sound.
The audience can enjoy this unique, almost ritual-like, experience seated on chairs and cushions around the piano in the historic hall at the heart of the Round Tower. A sense of unity and togetherness will arise as Di Garbi invites everyone to sing along to various mantras – both around the piano and in the Spiral Ramp.
After the concert, guests will have the opportunity to walk up and enjoy the view over Copenhagen – and perhaps catch a glimpse of the day’s last light.

As a composer, singer, lyricist, and pianist, Di Garbi is a versatile musician who transforms historical spaces into the most enchanting concert halls through melodic music of classical, electronic, and cinematic character. Her compositions explore the human mind in a poetic musical language, often with a calming effect on the listener’s nervous system. In 2024, Di Garbi became the first Danish solo artist ever to record an album at Abbey Road’s Angel Studio in London.
Previously, Di Garbi has performed as artist-in-residence at venues such as Thorvaldsens Museum, the Royal Chapel at Christiansborg Palace, and Aarhus Theatre. Now, audiences can immerse themselves in her musical universe here in the Round Tower. We look forward to welcoming you.
We meet at the entrance to the tower and embark together on a shared pilgrimage to the Library Hall. Doors open half an hour before the concert begins.
