Music, invisible artists and the complete absence of light is not just a concert, it is a unique experience that you will not forget. The team of the Moscow creative project «Concert in the dark. Inclusion 2.0», with the support of the Presidential Foundation for Cultural Initiatives, presented its programs for the first time in Podolsk and Kolomna, and in May 2025 they will be shown in Odintsovo.

«A concert in the dark. Inclusion 2.0» is the only such project in Russia. Concerts are held in absolute darkness, which helps not only to hear, but to «see» music in a new way. The project is aimed at developing competencies in the creative industry through literary and musical art for the integration of people with disabilities into the creative economy, mastering activities in the creative industry using new forms of performance and demonstration.

«This project allows viewers to experience music in a new way and understand what it’s like to perceive the world without vision. We are glad that we can offer such a unique experience to the residents of the Moscow region," - says Igor Dumenko, the creator of the project «Concert in the Dark», director of the N. A. Ostrovsky State Museum and Cultural Center «Integration».

The project has already won the hearts of viewers in Moscow, St. Petersburg and Tula, and in 2025 it was first presented in Podolsk and Kolomna. All three programs aroused great interest among local residents.

In May 2025, three concerts will be held in Odintsovo for the first time.:
