Max Richter Documentary screening in Amsterdam

On the theme of sleeping concerts, a friend of mine just shared with me that Max Richter has been performing his album “Sleep'“ live in marathon 8-hour concerts, from midnight to 8am all over the prestigious concert halls of the world, and also having performed outdoor as well. The audience gets to lie down in beds, invited to be awake or drift in and out of sleep while him and his musicians slave over the notes (120 pages of piano score) for 8 long hours!

Apparently he already performed in The Concertgebouw earlier in July 2019 in Amsterdam which must have been absolutely brilliant. In November, he returns to Amsterdam, not on the stage but on the big screen with his documentary ‘Sleep’, directed by Natalie Johns during the IDFA: International Documentary Film Festival Amsterdam‎. The documentary takes viewers on a journey of how the piece came about, how it transformed to a live performance and a closer look into his private life with his wife Yulia Mahr.

On the night of the premiere, Max will also be present for an interview, along with the direction and his wife after the screening.
