Mystery Ensemble on the Programme:

“On this marvellous spring evening, you will feel like a hero in Tolkien’s fantastic universe, surrounded by elves, orcs, hobbits, and dwarves! Imagine: an intimate hall, the authentic sounds of iconic soundtracks… Enchanting, isn’t it?

Rumour has it that after hearing our rendition of The Lord of the Rings, many film composers started feverishly composing new soundtracks—hoping that one day we might perform them as well! We have decided to think about it.

But don’t just take our word for it—come and experience the magic of The Lord of the Rings in our performance, as exhilarating as the film itself!”

Before the concert, we invite you to admire the venue’s stunning interiors, where the glow of candlelight enhances the hall’s intricate architectural beauty. Strolling through the space and absorbing the fairy-tale atmosphere is a true pleasure!

Our candlelit concerts transform Baku’s most breathtaking, atmospheric, and awe-inspiring locations, offering a multi-sensory experience of live music that deeply engages your hearing, sight, and touch. Feel the music with all your senses at once!

The enchanting magic of the concert will be brought to life through the unique connection between the musicians of Mystery Ensemble, the surrounding architecture, and the interplay of light, allowing the ensemble to transport the audience into the mysterious realm of Her Majesty, Music.

Now is the time to let music into your heart and embark on this incredible adventure with Mystery Ensemble!
