Second Paris edition of Yellow Lounge
After the success of its first edition, Universal Music is offering a second session of Yellow Lounge, to be held at the Batofar in Paris at 7:30 pm on November 20, featuring Nemanja Radulovic and Sven Helbig. This unique concept aims to move classical music out of the traditional concert halls and into the hippest clubs. DJs play exclusively classical music while VJs project live images of invited artists as well as other visuals. It’s a whole new way to experience, listen to and learn more about classical music.
