Incense of Music
Smell is the most neglected sense of our time – and the one that touches us most directly. Incense of Music brings it back into the concert hall: since 2015, 70 remarkable incense plants – blossoms, resins, woods and roots – have met 133 outstanding musicians from every style. A celebration for all the senses.
