Caffè Nero is to launch the very first classical concerts at Heathrow on Sunday 14 & 28 December 2014 as part of its ongoing music programme.
Taking place in one of the largest coffee houses in the world, Caffè Nero presents the virtuoso pianist and composer GéNIA, who is their featured classical artist of the month and whose compositions have been heard in Caffè Nero branches worldwide.
Described by The Times as ‘ an outstanding musician’, GéNIA will be launching her new EP ‘Dreams of Today, Thoughts of Tomorrow Volume 2’ at these concerts as well as performing a selection of famous classical works to bring an entirely new experience to air travel.
Café Concertos for the UK
‘I am very excited about launching classical concerts at Heathrow with Caffè Nero! It was a long time tradition in Europe to have Café Concertos which contributed to the development of culture and I would very much like to bring this back to the UK in the 21 century. Heathrow is one of the best places to start, as it will make travellers’ waiting experience so much more enjoyable’ says GéNIA.
GéNIA’s EP ‘Dreams of Today, Thoughts of Tomorrow’ was inspired by the idea of a simple cup of coffee, a daily ritual for many allowing them to think about their plans for the future or reminisce over their past, which suits the mood of the airport perfectly.
Travellers can receive a free coffee from Caffè Nero Heathrow Terminal 2 by quoting “I love GéNIA’s music!” on the day, and there will also be an opportunity to chat to GéNIA and obtain a limited edition signed copy of her EP.
