Antonio Dayyani live in København K

Experience Antonio Dayyani live on February 7th

Antonio Dayyani will be performing at Hotel Cecil in København K, Denmark on February 7th, 2027. Dayyani is an Iranian-Danish musician known for his distinctive blend of Persian classical music, jazz improvisation, and elements of world music. His compositions often feature the *setar*, a traditional Persian lute, alongside other instruments creating atmospheric and emotionally resonant soundscapes. He frequently explores themes of cultural identity and displacement in his work.

Hotel Cecil has a long history as a cultural venue in Copenhagen. Originally opened as a hotel in 1903, it quickly became a hub for artists and bohemians. During the Danish resistance movement in World War II, it served as a meeting place for resistance members and those aiding Jewish refugees escaping Nazi persecution – a period documented in several historical accounts. Post-war, it continued to function as a hotel while simultaneously hosting concerts and artistic events. In recent decades, Hotel Cecil has primarily operated as a concert venue focusing on experimental and independent music, maintaining its reputation as an important space for alternative artistic expression within the city’s cultural landscape. The building itself reflects early 20th-century architecture typical of the area.
