In the Club is a different kind of clubbing. It’s a mellow, more introspective experience. The concept is simple: organizers put unexpected music - interpreted works of contemporary composers - in an unexpected place - a nightclub renown for its Friday-night revelries.

To be completely honest, I’ve been quite sceptical. Some of the parties in the Club haven’t really impressed me and for a long time I kind of disliked the venue. But even in this aspect, In the Club helped change my mind. In some cases, the magic really works and this was one of them.

To give you an idea, In the Club has previously introduced Steve Reich. This time Fero Király played two works by Philip Glass - one from the 60s, when he was still making experimental minimalist music, and a second one from the 90s, showing Glass’ more contemporary “soundtrack” sound. Fero is a talented musician and a member of Cluster Ensemble, a group trying to make contemporary classical music more accessible to the general audience. The overall mood is hard to describe, due his skill and to the unique, laid-back atmosphere of the event. Try and feel it through a short video shot by one of the spectators that's published on the event’s Facebook page - or rather come and see it in person next time.
