Tiny Terrace Concert

Tiny Terrace Thursdays, a cherished series of intimate concerts, expands its journey from the private terraces of Florence and Amsterdam to the creative embrace of Toqueur.

Curated by Sophie in collaboration with Toqueur, this new chapter celebrates the expansion of our musical gatherings into a public, yet intimately curated space. Each evening showcases a diverse array of performances, seamlessly blending various music styles to create beautiful and unexpected harmonies. Our artists are handpicked not only for their exceptional talent but also for the unique energy they bring to the stage.

The Tiny Terrace experience is about more than just music. It's about creating a space where artists and audiences connect on a deeper level. Our performers share their vulnerability, inviting you to do the same. In this shared moment, the world outside fades away, and we all breathe together, absorbing the music and poetry. This collective experience opens our senses and leaves us transformed.

Join us at Toqueur for a unique blend of artistry and intimacy. Meet like-minded music lovers, enjoy moments of connection, and indulge in drinks and snacks as we celebrate the magic that happens when people, music, and art come together.

Be part of the ongoing story of Tiny Terrace Thursdays – an unforgettable night awaits you.

Manka’s poetry will be accompanied by cellist Anastasiya.
